When a loved one is ready to leave hospital there are a few things family, friends or carers can do to help:

· Check the date the person is due to come home.
· Arrange for someone to collect them or ask staff if you need help. · Ensure their home is safe and ready for their return.
· Help with meal preparation.

· Support with medication prompts once the patient is home. Please talk to the team planning their care if you think you can help in any way, as this may mean they can go home a few days earlier.
