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:
- Prevent unnecessary acute hospital admission or premature admission to long-term care;

- Promote faster recovery from illness
- Support anticipatory care planning and self-management of long-term conditions
