Healthcare Worker with Patient

Research indicates that up to 35% of seniors are readmitted to the hospital within 90 days due to insufficient care after hospitalization. Such readmissions can lead to additional pain, stress, discomfort, increased costs, and a significantly slower recovery process for the patient.

We help you effectively manage the transition home after discharge from a hospital or rehabilitation facility is crucial for a safe and successful recovery.

Post Hospital Care

    You may be eligible for a Home Care Package if you are 65 years or older (50 years or older for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people) and need assistance with daily tasks or have been diagnosed with a medical condition or reduced mobility. Eligibility is determined through an assessment by the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT).
