Salford Age UK Hospital Discharge, Aftercare and Reablement Service

The service supports people from the point of entry to A&E should they need it, discharge support and up to six weeks after they have returned home. Support includes emotional companionship, basic practical support such as collecting medication, preparing meals, shopping and enabling the person to attend vital follow up appointments.

The service also provides follow up telephone calls to people discharged from A&E to ensure they are managing with daily activities (if they haven't already been seen by the service in the department).
