<p>Community hospitals continue to play a vital role in providing some individuals
who have been discharged from acute hospital with ongoing care and support, as part
of the step-down process. We want individuals to be cared for in the place that works
best for them. This is usually in their own home, although we know this arrangement
is not suitable for all. For those people where home is not appropriate, community
hospitals continue to deliver key services that provide individuals with ongoing care
and support, often leading to improved outcomes and enabling individuals to achieve
their goals. As such, community hospitals will continue to be central to plans around
step-down care.</p>
