New Government Initiatives

Since 2005, the number of hospital admissions has increased by 2.79 million and yet 30% of the patients occupying beds can be treated elsewhere. How, therefore, can unnecessary admissions to hospitals be reduced so that those who really need acute treatment can be provided for?

Transferring NHS services from the acute trusts to the community is seen as an essential strategy in achieving the £20 billion productivity savings by 2015. 

Farrell Healthcare aspires to be a leading provider of quality care in the community in the Blackpool, Fylde, and Wyre area. We want to work with service providers across the health economy to ensure that the right care is provided to the right patient at the right time.

It is our aim to work in partnership with General Practitioners in the local area to help prevent non-elective hospital admissions and to facilitate early supported discharges, ensuring that patients are settled back into their homes as quickly and comfortably as possible and with the minimum amount of disruption. 

Through this integrated approach to care provision, it is our aim to enhance health outcomes for the local population and to help fulfil the strategic aims of the newly restructured NHS.

Bespoke Care

Our experienced and dedicated care team will support all of your needs, from your initial enquiry through to the coordination and delivery of your chosen services

Our purpose and our promise is to deliver the highest quality person-centred care whilst at all times promoting the privacy and dignity of our clients, respecting their beliefs and lifestyle choices, and safeguarding against discrimination. 

We actively promote partnership working across the health economy by operating alongside primary and acute healthcare providers, and the voluntary sector, in order to offer a seamless and integrated service. 

We believe in engaging with our clients and their families to ensure that our care plans are tailored to meet individual requirements and preferences.

In addition to our assisted care package we offer the following options to enable you and your family or carer to make the right choices regarding your personal care needs:

Care Plus

Palliative Care

We offer end of life support for you and your family at all stages of illness

From diagnosis of a life limiting illness to planning end of life care, we will provide support for you and your family. Our service can be provided at all stages of illness including diagnosis, treatment, death, and bereavement. We will provide you with a personalised end of life care plan that will respect your needs, preferences, and choices. We will work closely with your General Practitioner and other healthcare professionals to ensure that all your wishes and needs are met.

Hospital to Home

We can help you to settle back in at home with the least amount of disruption

We work collaboratively with GP practices and social care services to reduce non-elective hospital admissions and, where appropriate, assist in expediting hospital discharges to ensure that patients are settled back into the comfort of their own homes as quickly and as safely as possible.

As part of our hospital to home escort service we will support you with your transfer from hospital. We can arrange for a qualified nurse or carer to meet you at the hospital and escort you home. We can also liaise with family members and the Hospital Discharge Team to ensure that any additional required equipment or services are in place to aid an earlier supported discharge.

Please note that our hospital to home escort service operates in the Blackpool, Fylde, and Wyre area. 

Personal Care

We encourage independence wherever possible whilst ensuring the privacy and dignity of our clients

We offer a range of personal care services including: 

• Personal hygiene (washing, toileting, dressing and undressing, hair and nail care, denture and oral hygiene)
• Dietary management (meal preparation, nutritional advice)
• Domestic assistance (washing, cleaning, shopping, laundry, errands)
• Household administration (assistance managing financial affairs)
• Social companionship 
• Medication management (reminders to take non-invasive prescription medications) 

Starting with a comprehensive initial assessment we negotiate a personalised care plan to suit the individual requirements of our clients. We work in collaboration with family, friends, and other service providers to ensure that packages of care are constantly reviewed and adjusted as our clients' needs dictate: quality is at the heart of what we do.

We also understand that people's needs change with age or as conditions deteriorate.We will encourage as much independence as possible and, where appropriate, work with physiotherapists and occupational therapists to achieve the rehabilitation goals or enablement programmes of our clients.

Respecting and understanding the lifestyle choices and home environment of our clients helps us to deliver better quality care, ensuring that their privacy and dignity is maintained at all times.
