Common Questions

Simple answers before you call

If the situation is urgent or discharge is already happening, contacting Bridgetohome directly is the quickest next step.

Do you need CQC registration?

No. Bridgetohome provides domestic and recovery support only. We do not provide personal care such as bathing, dressing, toileting, medication administration or wound care.

How quickly can support start?

The aim is to respond quickly around discharge, often within 24 hours where availability allows. The first step is a short phone conversation with Bridgetohome.

Can you help with medication?

We can offer reminders and prompts only. We do not administer medication, handle medicines on behalf of the client or make clinical decisions.

Is Bridgetohome only for older people?

No. Many clients will be older adults after hospital discharge, but the service can support anyone who needs short-term practical help getting back to independent living.

What if needs become more complex?

If the person needs personal care or clinical intervention, Bridgetohome will help the family understand that a CQC-registered provider or NHS service is more appropriate.

Do you take long-term care packages?

No. Bridgetohome is designed for short-term support after discharge, usually one to three weeks, with clear packages and no long contracts.
