Hospital Discharge Care in Hucknall
From hospital bed to home routine — smoothly
When the discharge planner at Queen’s Medical Centre says ‘your mum can go home tomorrow’, families have a day to organise care. Oath Healthcare’s Hucknall team can complete a home assessment, write a care plan, and start care within 48 hours — even faster for fast-track referrals.

Common questions from Hucknall families
Do you handle stair-lifts, hospital beds, commodes?
We work with the Nottinghamshire County Council OT team and partner equipment suppliers to get kit installed quickly. Often we order before the discharge happens.
Will you talk to the Queen’s Medical Centre discharge team?
Yes — that’s the start of every discharge package. We get the discharge summary, medication list, and any specialist instructions before the first care visit.
How fast can you really start?
From a phone call by 10am, we can usually have a coordinator at the bedside or home by lunchtime, with care starting that evening or next morning. For fast-track palliative discharges, even faster.
Can we use NHS-funded reablement first?
If your loved one qualifies, absolutely. We typically take over after 6 weeks of free NHS reablement — or alongside, if reablement is partial. We help families navigate the handover.
