Convalescent Care

Convalescent care is a type of temporary care and support. It’s typically received by people who have recently come out of hospital and need some additional support until they’re fully recovered. Kingswood Courts facilities are well-equipped to provide convalescent care of the highest quality at all times.

Where can you receive convalescent care?

Many care homes offer convalescent care as it gives patients a stop off point before returning home from hospital or another care facility. This is extremely helpful for patients who might not deal with change very well, as it gives them a staged return to their normal everyday routine.

The expert care team at Kingswood Court will work with you to decide on the correct level of support you need.

Who might need convalescent care?

Convalescent care is normally an option for those who need temporary support in order to regain full independence. We most commonly see this when someone is recovering from an illness or injury of some kind and still needs some intermittent care after leaving the hospital or another care facility.

Although similar to respite care, there is a clear difference. Convalescent care is provided to those who don’t normally need care or support, whereas respite care is given to someone who already has regular care. Convalescent care might be given to someone for months, but it’s always expected to end when they make a full recovery.

<h2> What might convalescent care look like?

As we mentioned already, convalescent care can look different from person to person, depending on their specific needs. The incredible team at Kingswood Court can help with any aspect of your recovery. Whether you need extra physical support with things like getting dressed, washing etc., or if you need help planning meals and organising your day - our team can give you the assistance you need.
