Are you concerned about how you, a friend or
relative will cope at home when leaving hospital?
The AGE Concern Eastbourne Home from
Hospital Service may be able to help, offering
short-term support to older people in Eastbourne
who have recently been in hospital.
Our
FREE

available to anyone over 55 who is:
· Living in Eastbourne, Polegate, Westham or
Pevensey Bay
· About to leave hospital or has recently been
discharged
· Living alone, with a carer or with someone who
is physically unable to help
Our Home from Hospital volunteers are
available to:
· Visit you at home for up to three weeks

you obtain other services or equipment you

If you are still in hospital you can speak to one
of the ward nurses or a hospital social worker to
refer you to the service.
We welcome people over the age of 55
regardless of gender, colour, race, sexual
orientation, nationality or disability.
