Reducing Hospital Readmissions through Home-Based Care

Hospital readmissions can be a major burden for both patients and healthcare systems, but with the right support at home, they can often be avoided. At Chariot Health, our multidisciplinary team is dedicated to helping patients recover safely and effectively from the comfort of their homes, reducing the risk of complications and unnecessary readmissions.

Here’s how we make it happen:

  • General Practitioners monitor patients post-discharge, ensuring their recovery is on track and adjusting treatment plans as needed. Early intervention helps address any warning signs before they escalate.
  • Nurses provide essential home visits, assisting with wound care, medication management, and monitoring vital signs to detect any early issues that could lead to complications.
  • Physiotherapists focus on rehabilitation, helping patients regain strength, mobility, and independence through personalised exercises and physical support, reducing the risk of falls or further injury.
  • Occupational Therapists assess the home environment, recommending modifications and aids that help patients safely perform daily activities, reducing the chance of accidents or strain.
  • Counsellors offer emotional support to both patients and their families, addressing the mental and emotional challenges of recovery, which is critical in maintaining overall well-being.

By bringing expert care into the home, we empower our patients to heal in a familiar and comfortable environment, promoting faster recovery while preventing setbacks that could result in readmission.
