wymberley Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 Amazing isn't it! In Cornwall you can now come out of hospital - thus vacating a bed - and stay in a hotel until you're sorted and are well enough to go home. This is called a 'Home From home'. Before they disappeared these were called Convalescent Homes and were the norm where applicable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loriusgarrulus Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 I remember my Mum being discharged from hospital after an operation into a recovery hospital in the early 60's. Its a private old folks home now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 There used to be a cottage hospital close to where I live. It was sold off many years ago and now there's a private nursing home which can house 90 people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
