Common questions from Newmarket families
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.
Do you handle stair-lifts, hospital beds, commodes?
We work with the Cambridgeshire 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 Newmarket Community Hospital 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.
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.
