Home First

Home is Where the Heart is...

Home First is a significant shift in health care thinking.  When a person enters a hospital with an acute episode, every effort is made to ensure adequate resources are in place to support the person to ultimately go home on discharge.  Only when returning home with care is not possible or safe to do so, are other options considered. Essentially, Home First is about providing the right care, in the right place, at the right time and for the right cost.
