What is a care package and who would it be important to?

i take it u dont have care packages. when a patient goes home, its a package of care they have. for example 2 carers coming to see them in the morning, then two in the night.

so its important to the patient

Yup, us USians think you're talking about a package of goodies you send to your kids when they go away to school/camp/war, which is undeniably important, but a rather odd nursing question :)

OK for those wondering.

In the UK if someone is being discharged from hospital but still needs some input like District nurse, social worker, OT, Physiotherapist, Macmillian nurses (hospice) etc a package of care (care package) is hopefully done before the discharge and everything sorted.
