Home & Well - Support after leaving hospital
About
Home and Well is a unique collaboration of organisations working together to support residents of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight to return home as quickly and as efficiently as possible after a hospital stay and, importantly, ensure they have a comfortable home environment that will help them continue to recover rather than relapsing. The Home and Well adviser works with clients with extra needs due to ill health, age, low income or young children.
Once a referral is made, a specially trained Citizens Advice adviser will:
* Support you by signing you up for the Priority Services Registers (PSR) – a service that will ensure the patients will receive additional support should they receive a power cut or water shortage
* Ensure you are on the best possible water/energy tariff.
* Offer energy advice and support.
* Help with any financial, employment, benefit, and housing concerns, including identifying any extra financial entitlements and assisting you in applying.
* Provide a complete wrap-around/signposting service to connect you with specialists in your local community to ensure you are provided with the support needed.

Please note that Citizens Advice Hart works with Hart residents only. If you live elsewhere in Hampshire, please contact your local Citizens Advice office about their Home & Well Service.
