About

Rethinking Recovery. 

CareRooms.com was founded on personal experience and the belief that people deserve to choose the right place for them to get well. 

What Is CareRooms?

CareRooms is a safe, flexible and national network of amazing people who have accessible space in their homes. 

These spaces can provide patients with the freedom to choose a better way to recover. To choose not remain in a hospital bed for longer than necessary, to choose not be at risk of further illness and infection and to choose to learn about their condition and help reduce the risk of recurrence.

Our service also helps tackle social isolation and eases the growing capacity crisis in the NHS and other global healthcare providers.

All of this is done in the safest possible way, with stringent guidelines, training and background checks.
