The key to the quality of our service is our unique case management system that includes:
- Communication and liaison with GPs, specialists, hospitals and allied health providers
- Centralised coordination of care and community resources by Senior Case Managers
- 24 hour a day telephone support for patients by these same Case Managers
- Constant communication between Home Nurses’ community registered nurses and our Case Managers
The goal of the HSS Case Management System is to:
- Give doctors a high level of control over the care of their patients
- Avoid hospitalisation or decrease patients length of stay in hospital
- Decrease rates of hospital re-admission from a patient’s primary or secondary diagnosis
- Shorten patient recovery time
- Refer patient to community resources as appropriate
Rehabilitation
Our Allied Health staff have experience and expertise in rehabilitation following orthopaedic surgery such as knee and hip operations, or after a stroke or fall. They will tailor individualised exercise programs to maximize your recovery and will stay in touch throughout the rehabilitation process working closely with your specialist or doctor to ensure all your needs are met.
Mobility and Falls
There are times when our ability to move around safely is affected by illness, injury or age related conditions. Our Allied Health staff will assess your mobility problem and the safety of your home. They will identify any concerns and provide solutions to enable you to move around your home safely.
Domestic Support
Additional supportive services for a broad range of domestic chores and home help (i.e. cleaning, shopping, laundry, meal preparation) can be provided by our team of friendly experienced carers. If you require personal care i.e. showering assistance, the Allied Health team will work closely with our carers to create a plan for your care.
