Hospital to Home Discharge Program

Helping people with a disability with their recovery following a hospital stay

Staying in hospital can be a challenging time. Even more challenging is managing your recovery once you are discharged from hospital. That’s why we are proud to offer our Hospital to Home Discharge Program.

Having the proper care and support and caregivers with the right knowledge and skills can make a big difference to how well you recover after your hospital stay. Whether you need short-term clinical support such as wound or pain management or help with domestic chores such as grocery shopping and cooking, we’re here for you.

Recovering from an illness or injury is not always easy, which is why we take your needs and preferences into account when planning your support and finding the right support worker for you.

Services to support you while you recover include:

• wound management
• pain management
• medication management
• short-term accommodation assistance
• transport to and from follow-up medical appointments
• organising home visits from healthcare professionals
• domestic help (e.g. cooking, cleaning, laundry, gardening)
• personal care, such as bathing, dressing and toileting
• respite care
