How our service can help you
The team provides short-term (up to four weeks) care and therapy support to patients in their own homes, or in intermediate care health beds in care homes, to support discharge from hospital or to prevent admission to hospital.
This service includes full assessment of your care and rehabilitation needs to support your recovery and increasing your independence following acute illness. You will work with our nurses, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists to achieve your rehabilitation goals.
If you have long-term therapy goals and care needs at the end of your stay with our service, the team will work with you to refer you onto services that will continue to support and work with you, such as community therapy and adult social care.

Carers Information
-
A carer is anyone, including children and adults who looks after a family member, partner or friend who needs help because of their illness, frailty, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction and cannot cope without their support. The care they give is unpaid.
At Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, we value the often life-long support carers provide and recognise them as equal care partners. We want to offer as much guidance and reassurance as possible, to help you in your caring role. You can find general information and support for adult carers, young carers and parent carers by following this link.
