Resettlement
The resettlement service operates from 10am to 10pm daily in order to ease the transition from hospital to home. Activated by hospital discharge teams, a resettlement responder meets the patient at their home, settles them in and makes an onward referral to the core Wellbeing Lincs Service if appropriate. From here, the patient may be eligible for the 12 weeks of Wellbeing Lincs bespoke support to help get them back on their feet.

Small Aids and Minor Adaptations
Sometimes, small adjustments to the home is all that’s needed to support continued independent living, for example, grab rails in the bathroom, a ramp at the door or gadgets to help in the kitchen. With dedicated staff to deliver and install equipment, Wellbeing Lincs provides small aids and can make the necessary adaptations where required.
Customers can be assessed for suitable small aids, which are available to purchase through our service or independently.
