Going into and leaving hospital

Before you leave hospital

Hospital staff should contact Adult Social Care to arrange a discharge assessment. This is so they can find out what help you need when you go home.

You'll be involved in the assessment and agree a care and support plan together.

This should include things like:

• treatment and care when you get home
• who's in charge of your care and how to contact them
• when and how often you need care
