We would like to hear from people who are well enough to be discharged from hospital but have no social care in place in the community, meaning they cannot leave.
Were you, or a family member, independent before hospitalisation, or have requirements changed meaning it’s no longer possible to return to a previous care package? Do you, or your relative, require permanent care, or is it temporary support? How do you feel about being unable to leave hospital, and about the care that you need? Do you, or your family, have any concerns?
