Our Transition Care Program can include a range of services including:
We offer dedicated allied health services such as occupational therapy and physiotherapy to help you regain your mobility and independence.
Our specialised clinical team can provide support including pain management, wound care and catheter support.
Our experienced and compassionate team can deliver home support services including personal care, domestic assistance and meal preparation.
These services are specifically delivered to help you get back to living well and independently after your hospital stay. Our team will work with you to understand your individual needs, and provide you with a mix of services that will best help you achieve your goals.
The best thing to do is to talk to hospital staff while you’re still a patient in hospital. The hospital staff can arrange an ACAT Assessment, where an ACAT Assessor will visit you in hospital for an assessment. You can ask the hospital staff to arrange this assessment, or call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422.
It is important to organise this while you are still in the hospital or via My Aged Care before you discharge, as you are no longer eligible for this program once you’ve left hospital.
If you’d like more information about the TCP or your available care options, contact our team on 08 9301 0299. We are here for you just like family, whenever you need us.
