Quality & Care Home Liason Team
The Quality & Care Home Liaison team supports interactions between hospital and care homes, including residents of care homes, attending ED or admitted to wards.
The team support by:
- assisting with communications with the care home
- assisting the resident to return to their care home promptly, when medically fit
- establishing what further support may be provided to assist patients to remain in their care home.
Where a new placement is required, this will be co-ordinated through this team, including follow-up to ensure the patient has successfully settled into the care home.
Dementia Co-ordination Service
This team is also responsible for SDHC's Dementia Co-ordination Service which supports people, families and carers living with dementia.
