Leora Healthcare’s hospital to home assistance ensures you have the support you need in place to get settled at home after surgery or a lengthy hospital stay.
Are you being discharged from the hospital and need support?
Coming home after a hospital stay can feel a little overwhelming, especially if you don’t have family or friends living nearby, or anyone available to lend a hand.
Leora can guide you home. We can coordinate your care to ensure a smooth, stress-free transition, providing you support from the moment you’re discharged through to helping you temporarily at home as you recover.
If you require more permanent or ongoing support, we can also help you find disability accommodation or assist you with specific NDIS, aged care or attendant care services.
