Recovering Health and Exploring Wellness.

Whether you're worried about maintaining your home, getting back into employment, avoiding hospital re-admission, leaving residential care, or need care after being discharged from hospital, you can 'Self-Direct' your assessment and tell the local authority or service undertaking your assessment, exactly what you need to feel better. A Health & Wellness Coach and a good care plan can help you get the right support, for your needs, while you convalescence, or adapt to a disability, so that you can start to feel like yourself again.

One thing that can really take a toll recovery plans, is when patients spend extra days in hospital waiting for discharge. Muscles don't get used, so they weaken and atrophy. This makes recovery at home much harder and longer.

People in the UK are less likely to survive treatable conditions, such as breast cancer and stroke, than those in other rich nations, a study has found. By the time people actually seek care for their conditions, the care is mostly limited to bathing, feeding and medication, and decline sets in with limited chances of health recovery.

Healthcare, like any other serious concern, is better when addressed early. Most people tend to avoid the issues around their care and health, until the problem becomes urgent or an emergency. Even after people have receive urgent treatment for their health conditions, recovery is unlikely.

A study published in Health Watch also reported that there were 484,609 emergency readmissions to hospital within 30 days, with with one in five cases readmitted within 24 h of discharge (‘failed discharge’) from hospital. According to recent data on 30 day hospital readmissions linked to lack of home care and support. Around 14% of patients in England are readmitted within 30 days of discharge, with rates rising to 18% among those aged 75 and over. Many of these readmissions are directly tied to inadequate post discharge care, poor medication management, and insufficient support at home

For older or more vulnerable patients, even just one extra day in the hospital can mean an additional week—or more—of recovery time spent at home.

Why Patients Sometimes Go Back to Hospital

Leaving hospital should be the start of recovery, but for many people it can feel overwhelming. In fact, around 1 in 7 patients in England are readmitted within 30 days of going home, often because they don’t get the right care or support after discharge. The three main elements that cause hospital readmissions is a lack of co-ordination, lack of a discharge plan, and the failure of NHS services to cater to complex patient needs. Here are the main reasons why readmission happens:

1. Care That Doesn’t Connect

When different doctors, nurses, and services don’t share information properly, patients can feel lost. Missed appointments, unclear instructions, or poor communication between hospital, GP and community care teams often mean that patients, wait for care, or receive only the most basic care and end up back in hospital.

2. Weak Discharge Planning

Going home without a clear care plan is risky. Patients need:

• Easy to follow instructions about medicines

• Follow up appointments already booked

• Support at home, whether from family, carers, or community services

Without these, recovery can stall, and problems quickly build up.

3. Complex Needs

Some patients face bigger challenges. Older age, long term health conditions, mental health struggles, or living alone without proper care or support, makes recovery harder. They will more likely to need extra help to stay well at home.

Why Home Care and Support Matters

The good news is that strong home care and friendly support can prevent relapse, hospital readmission. Having good nutrition, fresh air, physiotherapy or exercise. someone to check on medicines, help with daily tasks, and provide reassurance makes a huge difference. With the right support, patients can recover safely, avoid unnecessary hospital trips, and feel more confident about the future.
