The sapphire service is a hospital and community initiative operating across older peoples wards at Sandwell and City Hospital. It is jointly delivered by Agewell, a local social enterprise for older people and the West Bromwich African Resource Centre, a local charity for African Caribbean and Dual Heritage individuals and families.
In partnership with the Hospital Trust Staff, the Sapphire Service aims to:
Improve the hospital experience for older adults and their carers
Befriend patients and support with eating and hydration if required
Identify any barriers to getting patients back home as soon as possible
Support and advocate for patients in the discharge planning process to reduce readmissions
Provide and help older adults and their carers to access community
Signpost and help older adults and their carers to access community services in their local area which can improve their quality of life
