Independent Intermediate Care (South Angus)

Intermediate Care is an umbrella term describing an approach involving a collection of services working with common shared objectives and principles. It provides a set of bridges at key points of transition in a person’s life, in particular from hospital to home or from home to hospital and from illness or injury to recovery and independence; helping them achieve their personal outcomes. The key aims of the Service are prevention, rehabilitation, enablement and recovery.

Intermediate Care can:
