I think I’ve recovered quicker as I feel more comfortable in my own surroundings, I’m able to rest in my own bed and I have my family around me. I am thrilled with the support I’ve received.
What are the benefits of NHS@Home?
Research and feedback from people who have used this service shows that if you receive care in this way, you are likely to:
- Feel more comfortable in the surroundings of your own home, with your loved ones nearby.
- Sleep better, which can help you recover more quickly.
- Experience less deconditioning and frailty, which can help you
recover more quickly. - Feel more positive about your recovery.

When I had respiratory problems, NHS@home supported me for two weeks until I was better. I believe you recover much better and quicker in your own home.
