Going Home from Hospital? How to Arrange Home Care Support in North London

If your loved one is being discharged from hospital and you're unsure what happens next — you're not alone. Many families in Camden, Islington, Haringey and surrounding boroughs face the same challenge: how to ensure a safe, supported transition from hospital to home.

At Hedgerow Homecare, we specialise in just that — and we’re here to help make the process smoother, faster, and less stressful for everyone involved.

🏥 Why Post-Hospital Home Care Matters

Whether it's after a fall, surgery, illness or a sudden deterioration in health, coming home from hospital can be overwhelming. The NHS discharge team might provide some basic support, but it's often time-limited. Many people need more hands-on help than they realise — especially in the first few days or weeks back home.

That’s where local, responsive home care in North London becomes vital.

🛏️ What Kind of Support Can Be Arranged?

We tailor every care plan to the individual, but here’s what families often ask us for:

• Help with mobility and fall prevention

• Personal care – washing, dressing, continence care

• Medication reminders and monitoring

• Meal preparation and hydration support

• Escort to follow-up appointments or GP visits

• Companionship and emotional reassurance

And it’s all tracked in real time through the Birdie app, so family members can see exactly what’s happening — even if you live outside London.

📍 Serving Camden, Islington, Haringey & Beyond

We’re proud to support families across North London, including:

👨‍⚕️ Working with NHS Discharge Teams
