To maximize your recovery sometimes you need additional support to assist in your recuperation following discharge from hospital.

• Providing general nursing care
• Providing personal care.
  
  

Which staff can help?

All our nurses have skills in general and technical nursing, and are supported by expert nurses known as Clinical Nurse Consultants. These nurses work alongside our general staff to ensure that your entire healthcare needs are met.

Criteria for patients in the Post Acute Care programs

There are certain conditions that need to be met for you to become a post acute care client.

You must be a public hospital patient and assessed as requiring services that at the point of referral cannot be provided by an alternative community healthcare provider.

How can I access this service?

Hospital staff caring for you are responsible for making all the arrangements for post acute care services. Several days before your discharge appropriate plans are developed in conjunction with yourself and your carers. Equipment and medications may be sent home with you.
