The Community Assessment and Rehabilitation Team help you to...
- stay at home, even when you’re not well.
- return home from hospital as quickly as possible.
We can provide short term care quickly — either in your own home or at a resource centre, care home and so on.
Most people we help are 65 years old or over. You might...
- be recovering from a fall, and at risk of falling again
- have a serious infection, such as a chest or urine infection
- be dehydrated— if you’re not drinking enough fluids
- be finding it difficult to get about
- be recovering from injury after a fall.
We can help with support for a few days, or for up to six weeks. We’re here to help you to be more independent and to improve your quality of life.
