    Shopping support

    Because I am completely bedbound, getting the right food in was really difficult. Home From Hospital Care collected my shopping list each week and bought the items I actually wanted, not just the basics. Having someone take time to chat with me also helped, especially as I no longer speak to my family.

      Supported Shopping Trips

      I had not been out of the house for months and felt extremely nervous about going out again. With support, I managed to go to the local shop and later even the post office, which felt like a huge step. I felt happier afterwards and was very grateful for the help.

        Benefits and Practical Support

        I was very stressed and felt like I had no help after losing my sight. Someone visited me, explained the support that might be available, and helped me contact my doctor so my needs could be assessed properly. I appreciated having someone take the time to discuss everything with me.
