Coming home from hospital in Hackney.
Homerton University Hospital is the local acute hospital for most Hackney residents. If a parent or partner is ready to leave hospital, tell the discharge team you’re arranging home care and call us. We’ll plan support for the first days home and arrange an assessment as soon as we safely can.
Read our guide to arranging home care after a hospital stay.
Paying for care in Hackney.
Hackney Council’s adult social care team can carry out a free needs assessment, and family carers can ask for a carer’s assessment. If the council funds care, a direct payment lets you choose your own provider. Visit the Hackney Council website to start.
NHS-funded care for Hackney residents is arranged through North East London health services. If you've been told you're eligible, ask your care coordinator whether Hedgerow can provide your care.
Many families pay privately. We give a clear written quotation after a free assessment. Our guide to paying for home care explains the options.
An independent local team, not a call centre.
- Managers you can reach. Our office team is based on Park Road, NW8. Meet the team.
- Familiar carers. A small, regular team for each client, introduced before care starts where possible.
