Hospital Discharge Care in Wanstead
From hospital bed to home routine — smoothly
When the discharge planner at Whipps Cross University Hospital says ‘your mum can go home tomorrow’, families have a day to organise care. Oath Healthcare’s Wanstead 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 Wanstead families
Do you handle stair-lifts, hospital beds, commodes?
We work with the London Borough of Redbridge OT team and partner equipment suppliers to get kit installed quickly. Often we order before the discharge happens.
What if needs change in the first week?
We expect them to. The first care plan is a working document — we review at days 3, 7, and 14 and adjust upwards or downwards based on how recovery is going.
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.
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.
