Home visits

If you or anyone close to you have been affected by meningitis, at any time in your life, we can offer you a home visit.

How are home visits provided?

People who request a home visit may want to talk about their experience, ask questions about after-effects or want support following a death from the disease.  A home visit can be a vital source of support and information soon after discharge from hospital. Many people also request support long after meningitis is diagnosed.

Home visits are provided through our UK-wide network of nurses, community team and counsellors. All our staff have experience in providing information, answering questions and offering support during a home visit

How can I access this service?

A home visit can be requested by calling our 24-hour 0808 80 10 388 - or filling out an enquiry form. A member of the services team will call or email you back to discuss the service in more detail.

David Heaton’s daughter, Rosie, had meningitis. David says:

“The home visit was a great help. It was comforting to have contact with someone who had knowledge and empathised with families who have had after effects of meningitis.”
