Post-acute care

It could include assistance with managing your condition in your home, or support with certain aspects of your recovery or treatment.

We offer a range of post-acute care services that help you transition from hospital to home, continue your return to full health and avoid unexpected readmission to hospital.

Our post-acute care service

Some of the services we offer through post-acute care include:

• wound care – monitoring wound healing and attending to wound care and dressings
• Drain management – maintenance and monitoring of output
• medication management – administration of medication or education on how to self-administer
• personal care – assistance with showering and dressing while recovering from surgery.

Accessing our post-acute care services

You need a referral from a hospital to access our post-acute care services. The hospital will fill in the referral form and organise for you to have the services provided once you are discharged home.

Normally, we see patients for a short period of time and we liaise with your referring hospital and specialist if you need long term support to manage your condition or treatment.
