Abstract
This article tells the stories of two family carers,
each of whom is caring for someone who has
been discharged early from hospital to have their
rehabilitation at home. These stories illustrate the
personal impact of early discharge for rehabilitation.
The article argues that through its policy of
early discharge from hospital, the state has shifted
care from hospital to home, resulting in the work of
caring and its associated costs being rendered
invisible. This is possible because the prevailing
ideology on both sides of politics is that individuals
? rather than the state ? should be responsible
for their own and their family?s well-being.
