This program seeks to ensure a safe discharge from hospital, including the emergency department, by providing people with community based supports to help them recover in their home or community and to reduce the risk of readmission to hospital.
Admission to the program is based on an assessment of the person’s need for community-based services and takes into account the persons healthcare and psychological needs, and home environment. Self or community referrals are accepted up to 28 days after discharge from hospital. A broad range of services meet individual needs and include:
- community nursing
- personal care
- home care
- allied health such as physiotherapy.
Patients are referred to the program during their hospital stay.
