Rapid response

Bringing Someone Home from Hospital? Make the Everyday Routes Through the House Easier First.

Simple adaptations can help prepare the bathroom, entrance and key routes through the home before discharge.

Urgent readiness checklist

What needs doing before they walk back through the door

Work through this in order. Most homes need three or four of these, not a full refit.

1
Clear the routes they will use most
Bed to bathroom, and front door to kitchen. Lift rugs and trailing cables, and leave turning space for a frame.
2
Fit hallway and landing rails
A guidance rail along the route they walk every day gives something solid to hold from the first day home.
3
Sort the front door threshold
A modular half step or threshold ramp plus a porch rail means the doorstep is no longer the hardest part of the day.
4
Support the bathroom
Grab rails at the toilet, shower and bath edge, so washing does not depend on someone else being there.
5
Set up a key safe for carers
A police-approved, wall-anchored key safe lets district nurses and carers in without keys being left under mats.
6
Book the fitting around the discharge date
Bookings need at least five working days' notice so your materials arrive before your installer. Book around your discharge date.

We assess the location, use an appropriate product and fixing method, and check the completed installation before we leave.
