Here we have a positive, pro-active attitude towards the HomeFirst Pathway, working hard to ensure the stay in our Reablement Unit is both short and supported. Hear what NHS England have to say about HomeFirst: 'Patients avoid 7,500 nights in hospital with 'tailored' home help scheme' - scheme offers patients who are healthy enough, and their families, tailored help to finish therapy at home, with personalised care reducing stays in hospital by up to ten days.
