PREVENTING HOSPITALISATION
The best care is prevention: our focus is on proactive care and community support that address the social factors that impact health and wellbeing
Your home, your familiar surroundings are key to reducing distress for you and your loved ones.
We have a fully trained and experienced workforce who will focus on providing you with personalised home care aimed at preventing or delaying the need for acute hospital or long-term bed-based care.
How would we do that?
We ask and listen to the people we support and care about what matters to them, so we know what they need and how to support them to live the life they want. It is their life, their care and their wellbeing.
We improve care and support planning by working with other provider organisations in the local communities to provide proactive person-centred care to service users and their unpaid carers.

It is care that promotes healthy lifestyles:
-
What you eat and drink daily: nutrition and hydration
-
How you use your body: physical activity to reduce stress and other health issues
-
How and when you sleep: to restore you mentally and physically
-
How and what you think about: to prevent mental decline and promote positivity
-
Reablement: regain your old skills, gain confidence after illness or injury, become independent again, be in control and make your own decisions. It means that you start over to enjoy life and wellbeing as much as you can.
Your personalised care may include:
-
Palliative care: a focus on improving your quality of life by addressing pain and other symptoms and providing holistic support covering physical, emotional, social, spiritual and psychological needs
-
Advanced care planning: preferences for future care and support tailored to care that aligns with your values, choices, wishes, preventing unnecessary interventions
-
Monitoring and early intervention: home care that monitors your vital signs, detect early signs of illness and the provision of timely interventions to prevent escalation
-
Technology-enabled care: use of technology to enable you to stay well, live well and safely in and around your home. You will also use TEC to access quality information, advice and support; monitor and manage your own care, health and wellbeing (TSA)
RETURNING HOME AFTER HOSPITALISATION
A three cord strand is not easily broken
Hospitalisation may not be avoidable, but when it is time to go home, your carer and loved ones may need additional care and support.
At The Three Cord Care, we can work with your carer and loved ones to transition from hospital to home ensuring that you will continue to receive the right level of care out of the hospital setting including practical arrangements for travelling and taking care of your safety and wellbeing in your home, focusing on personal care. Some of the tasks include arranging GP appointments, collecting prescriptions, dressing and undressing, putting you to bed and waking up and everything else that matters to you.

BENEFITS OF PREVENTING HOSPITALISATION
Prevention is better than cure: that is an old saying that still rings true. Prevention is about helping you stay healthy, happy and independent for as long as possible. Whether you are nine years old or ninety, prevention ensures that you stop problems from arising, focus on keeping yourself healthy and when situations arise, you are supported to manage them earlier and more effectively.
Research shows that prevention works and it is for everyone at every stage of life.
Prevention improves quality of life
When we adopt a proactive approach to health, we increase the chances of reducing the risk of developing chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity and cancer.
We take control of our health and wellbeing
When you are in control, it is empowering and ensures that you actively pursue preventative measures regarding your own health and wellbeing.
Prevention reduces pressure on the NHS
Minimising the need for emergency admissions, acute and long-term care, preventative healthcare measures significantly reduces pressure on the NHS resources. Illnesses can be prevented through lifestyle changes, early detection and intervention.
Prevention improves mental health
Mental health is at the heart of prevention. Mental wellbeing involves healthy lifestyle choices that reduce our chances of becoming unwell. Your mental wellbeing positively affects your physical wellbeing.
