Who are we and what we stand for?
As a Nurse and have experience with managing a Community Nursing team, I have identified that a lot of patients in the local community are being discharged home with no social care packages in place to meet their needs or they do not have complete packages of care in place. This is causing the elderly to be socially isolated in their own homes and local communities. There are not enough social care providers to meet the rapidly increasing needs of the elderly. They want to remain in their own homes, safely and independently, for as long as possible.
