Satisfied Clients
Convalescence, or step-down, care supports older adults recovering from a hospital stay, illness, surgery, or a fall, who aren’t yet ready to manage safely at home but no longer need to be in hospital. Our team provides personal care, help with mobility, nutrition, and gentle encouragement to rebuild independence and confidence, in a calmer, more homely setting than a hospital ward.
Going straight home after a hospital stay isn’t always the safest option, particularly for older adults living alone or recovering from a fall or surgery. Step-down care reduces the risk of readmission by giving the body time to properly recover, with support on hand around the clock, before a full return home, or a more considered decision about longer-term care needs.
Every convalescence stay is built around the individual’s recovery goals, working alongside GPs, district nurses, or hospital discharge teams where needed.
We work with hospital discharge coordinators and social workers across Preston to support timely, safe discharges. If you’re a healthcare professional looking to arrange a step-down placement, please get in touch directly to discuss availability.
