Hospital discharge support for older adults
Coming home after a hospital stay can be the hardest part, an empty house, no fresh food in, and no one there to help settle back in. If you can't be there yourself, an AirCarers companion can.
How it works
Using the app, you pick a companion to help with coming home. Book as little as a few hours for someone to:
- 01
Travel home with them
Or be there waiting when they arrive.
- 02
Get the essentials in
Pop out for milk, bread and provisions so there's food in the house.
- 03
Ready the home
Make sure it's warm, comfortable and welcoming.
- 04
Stay for company
A familiar face through those first uneasy days back.
“An empty house and no milk in the fridge is often the hardest part. That, we can fix.”
You choose who goes
Because companions write their own profiles, you can pick someone whose background puts your mind at rest.

A reassuring choice for getting home and to follow-up appointments after a stay, there as a companion, not as a nurse.
Find a companionEspecially helpful if…
- you live far away, or abroad and can't get there in time
- you're already stretched looking after someone else
- the discharge came suddenly and there was no time to prepare
