Home Instead Dorchester Expands Services with After Hospital Care, Supporting Seniors with Minimal Wait Times

[Dorset] – Home Instead Dorchester is pleased to announce the launch of its new After Hospital Care service, designed to support older adults in Dorchester as they transition from hospital to home. This new service ensures that individuals receive the care they need promptly, with minimal wait times, thanks to a team of dedicated care professionals living locally.

The period following a hospital stay is critical for recovery, and Home Instead Dorchester’s After Hospital Care is designed to provide the right level of support to help seniors regain confidence and independence at home. Whether recovering from surgery, an illness, or another medical procedure, this service offers tailored assistance to meet each client’s unique needs.

Romesh Dharmasingham, owner of Home Instead Dorchester, shared: “Recovering at home after a hospital stay can be challenging without the right support. Our After Hospital Care service provides compassionate, professional care that helps clients regain their independence safely and comfortably. We are proud to extend this essential service to the Dorchester community, ensuring minimal wait times and personalised care plans.”

Care plans are personalised to each client’s needs, ensuring a smooth recovery process with support from local care professionals based in Dorchester, allowing for quick service and reducing the stress of waiting for care. Assistance includes help with mobility, medication reminders, meal preparation, and personal care, while companionship and emotional support ensure clients feel reassured throughout their recovery. Recognising that recovery extends beyond physical health, the team also works closely with healthcare providers to maintain continuity of care after hospital discharge.

Home Instead Dorchester has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality in-home care services, with clients and families consistently praising the team’s dedication. One family member, V. Bonass, shared their experience: “Thanks so much to Cat and the team at Home Instead Dorchester. They cared for my grandma in her home for over two years, most of that time on a 24/7 basis. They provided an excellent level of care, really going above and beyond, and were happy to give daily updates to my mum on the phone between our visits. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for care in their own or their relative’s home.”

With an unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest standards, Home Instead Dorchester ensures that every client receives the support they need in a way that respects their dignity and promotes independence.

Safety and quality are at the heart of Home Instead Dorchester’s approach, ensuring that every client receives the highest standard of care during their recovery journey. Care professionals undergo comprehensive training that covers essential aspects of post-hospital recovery, including mobility assistance, medication reminders, personal care, and recognising signs of complications. Their expertise extends to supporting clients with a range of conditions, from post-surgical recovery to managing chronic illnesses, always prioritising dignity and comfort. Home Instead Dorchester adheres to best practices in senior care, following strict safety protocols and upholding regulatory standards to provide families with peace of mind. With a compassionate and professional approach, the team ensures that clients not only receive practical support but also benefit from a reassuring presence that promotes confidence and overall well-being during their transition from hospital to home.

Romesh Dharmasingham added: “We understand that families worry about their loved ones when they leave the hospital. Our goal is to provide families with peace of mind, knowing their loved ones are receiving expert care from a trusted team. Our local presence in Dorchester allows us to respond quickly and efficiently to care requests, ensuring that clients receive support when they need it most.”
