Hospital discharge and NHS support
Most families start to consider live-in care after an illness, fall, or operation. Hospital discharge is usually coordinated by the Western Health and Social Care Trust, which combines health and social care through multi-disciplinary teams of hospital and community care staff. A Hometouch live-in carer can be arranged to bridge that gap, provide personal care, mobility support and companionship from the day someone returns home.
As a CQC regulated carer provider, we can arrange full costs and available live-in carers for:
Condition-specific care
Dementia or any other condition-specific care
Reablement care
Postoperative or any other injury-related care
General care
Overnight, companionship or disability care
CQC regulation

Paying for live-in care in Derry LondonDerry
Northern Ireland’s funding system works differently from England’s local authority model. Following a needs assessment, care arranged through the Western Health and Social Care Trust is usually provided free of charge. However, this does vary by Trust and service. Live-in care is usually sourced and paid for privately, because it goes beyond the scope of what’s covered. The team at Hometouch are happy to talk through indicative costs based on your family’s needs.e
