Lancashire County Council, GB trials new approach for senior patients after hospital discharges
Lancashire County Council, GB Senior Patient Discharge Trial
Discharged seniors with mental health illnesses stay at three council care homes for up to six weeks. On-site personnel evaluate long-term patient needs and communicate with carers about healthy home environments. The six-month program trains seniors to use smart devices and computers, thus supporting independent living. Lancashire County Council and regional NHS officials aim for increased hospital turnover rates and improved quality of life for participants.
