Transition Care Program
The Transition Care Program (TCP) offers alternatives to extended periods of hospitalisation or moves to residential care by providing older South Australians with rehabilitation and support services.
The program is targeted for older people who are in hospital and need support at home or in residential care to complete their rehabilitation and access longer term care.
Participants are offered an individually tailored program of transitional care of up to 12 weeks, which can be undertaken in the person's home, an aged care facility or our City Views facility in Fullarton.
The Transition Care Program seeks to help older people, with their carers and families, set realistic goals, not only in terms of their recovery but also to maximise their health and sense of wellbeing.
Almost half of all people referred to the program are able to return to their own homes, helping them to remain independent for as long as possible.
Transition Care Program provides a range of services depending on individual need including;
- nursing support;
- low intensity therapy or rehabilitation (such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy and social work);
- personal care;
- medical support such as GP oversight;
- Case management including establishing community supports and services.
ACH Group auspices the TCP on behalf of 20 other aged care providers in collaboration with the State Department of Health and the Australian Government.
