The Juliet O Foundation
Our Vision
At the Juliet O Foundation, our vision is to support and uplift our cherished elderly community by providing essential care packages that help ease the challenges of hospital discharge.
Our uniquely curated packages contain essential items designed to facilitate a smooth and comfortable transition back into the community. These resources provide much-needed support until the individual regains greater physical independence, ideally with the assistance of loved ones, social care services, or care providers.
We also accept community referrals from social workers who identify individuals who would benefit from one of our essential care packages.
Why Our Work Matters
For many elderly individuals, hospitals provide a sense of comfort through regular social interaction with staff and fellow patients. This can make the prospect of returning home—often to an empty space—feel isolating and overwhelming, even when they are medically fit for discharge.
Research shows that 15% of elderly individuals discharged from hospital are readmitted—many of these cases could be prevented with the right post-discharge support. By addressing basic needs and promoting social reintegration, we aim to reduce unnecessary hospital readmissions and ensure that no elderly person transitions home without the essentials they need to feel safe, comfortable, and supported.
Our Mission & Objectives
Our foundation is committed to:
- Supporting elderly individuals during the critical transition from hospital to home.
- Providing essential care packages to ease financial strain after hospital discharge.
- Reducing unnecessary hospital readmissions by ensuring individuals have the essentials they need.
- Promoting independence and well-being for elderly individuals.
- Working in collaboration with the NHS, social services, and care providers to enhance discharge support.
By addressing these needs, we strive to create a compassionate, community-driven approach that prioritises dignity, care, and connection.
