Hospital in the Home (HITH)
Hospital care in the privacy of your own home.
Our experienced team provides acute home care services for a range of clinical conditions that aims to allow people to leave hospital early and receive their care at home when clinically appropriate.
If you need hospital services you may be able to choose where you receive this care. Our Hospital in the Home service can provide the care you need in the comfort and privacy of your own home*, as an alternative to hospital in-patient treatment.
Where clinically appropriate, Hospital in the Home offers health services to help you transition from hospital to home. Hospital in the Home may mean an earlier discharge from hospital.
Services available under the Hospital in the Home program may include:
Hospital in the Home allows you to receive hospital services, where clinically appropriate, in your own surroundings. This means your family and friends can visit you whenever you like, instead of being limited to hospital visiting hours. You will also be able to enjoy the creature comforts of home such as your own bed, your favourite couch, and your own TV, along with the company of your furry or feathered friends.
In short, you might be able enjoy all the things that make your life a little more comfortable and personal, while receiving the services and care at home.
