Intermediate Care
Here in Liverpool, intermediate care can support people as they are discharged from the acute hospital who are not quite ready, and if they meet the criteria, to return home. This period of intermediate care can provide rehabilitation from therapy staff or a period of reablement prior to returning home. Your hospital team will work with you to assess your level of need and which intermediate care service which would suit your needs should you require it. All patients who no longer need acute care but cannot return home and do not require specialist care are eligible for intermediate care if they meet the following criteria: • Over the age of 18 • Resident of Liverpool or • Registered with a Liverpool GP Intermediate care is provided under Health and Social Care joint Commissioning arrangements and is free of charge whilst you are on the intermediate care pathway. People may be eligible for intermediate care following an episode of acute care for a further short period of recovery and or reablement. This can benefit patients and enables a more accurate assessment of your ongoing care needs prior to returning home or before long term care is considered.
“I had to make the hardest decision to look for a care home for my mother, after an extensive and exhaustive search and visits, I chose Damfield Gardens and boy what a home! The staff and manager are lovely, they can’t do enough for my mum and me. They’ve made me feel happy and that my mum is safe and very well looked after. I thoroughly recommend this home.” Rachel (daughter of resident) March 2020
