Hospital Discharge Care in St Neots
Out of Hinchingbrooke Hospital. Settled at home. In 48 hours.
The first 48 hours back home from Hinchingbrooke Hospital are critical. Falls, medication errors, missed signs of infection — all spike in this window. Oath Healthcare’s St Neots discharge service is designed to bridge that gap, often in partnership with the community matron and district nurse team.

Common questions from St Neots families
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 Hinchingbrooke 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.
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.
