We are excited to be able to launch this service to support patients once they are discharged from hospital.
Julia and Karen run this service and, wherever possible, they will visit the patient whilst they are still in hospital (Countess of Chester and Ellesmere Port) to arrange for appropriate support on returning home. Support can also be offered up to 6 weeks post-discharge.
Home visits and / or telephone calls will be conducted within two working days, providing the individual with reassurance and practical support. Support can include shopping, prescription collections, dog walking and lending an ear as we understand that returning home from a hospital stay can be difficult.
To make a referral:

To benefit from this service patients must be over 65 years old and live in the Cheshire West and Chester district. The service is open to new and existing Snow Angels users.
