Carehome Selection works with 50 different hospitals across the UK to reduce delayed discharges and find suitable care home placements for patients.

Carehome Selection receives between 180 and 200 requests for care home placements every month – the vast majority of which come from hospitals.

Carehome Selection employs hospital co-ordinators who work directly with hospital discharge planning teams and social workers.

Hospital co-ordinators provide weekly reports on the status of patients awaiting discharge, enabling planning and placement to take place far more efficiently.

Carehome Selection advisers work directly with the patient and their relatives to identify suitable homes.

Carehome Selection carries out regular care home bed availability checks and hold extensive portfolios on more than 2,000 homes across the country.

We run a range of different types of services for hospitals to meet their specific needs:

Carehome Placement service

Interim Care Scheme

Admission Avoidance

This enables families to make an informed decision about care homes and easily compare homes. Carehome Selection also arranges care home visits, accompany patients and their relatives and help with all the paperwork and arrangements for placement.
