The consultant-led community service provides specialist hospital-level care for people aged 65 and over in the familiar surroundings of their own homes as an alternative to hospital admission.
NHS Lanarkshire’s Hospital at Home service has now launched in Clydesdale with the aim of better meeting the changing healthcare needs of the area’s ageing population.
The team treats a range of conditions including infections, pneumonia, heart failure, COPD, dehydration, delirium and falls. They aim to carry out a home visit within one hour of referral to examine the patient and conduct a virtual consultation with the consultant geriatrician to assess if treatment at home is feasible.
“By adapting to the changing needs of people in Clydesdale, and Lanarkshire as a whole, we are adopting innovative approaches that deliver the care that is in line with the preferences and aspirations of people who use our services.” Recognising that most older individuals prefer to remain in their own homes with appropriate support, the Hospital at Home service offers a viable alternative to traditional hospital care.
