Too many people spend their final days in hospital but would rather be at home. We make sure that you have choice and excellent care towards the end of your life by supporting adults in Luton and Bedfordshire. Helpline: 0808 180 7788

What does the My Care Co-ordination Team do?

Our 24-hour advice and support line is for you, your family, carers and professionals, to help you stay at home to receive care, if you choose. By working closely with the local paramedic services, out-of-hours GPs, community services and the hospital, our team can prevent unnecessary hospital visits and stays. The team also works with hospitals to help get people home at the end of life.
