The Transitional Care Program provides nursing support, personal care, physiotherapy and other allied health disciplines, medical support and case management. TCP can be provided as a bed based service, either in low or high level residential aged care or as a home based service.

All TCP care recipients work with their case manager and care team to establish their goals and develop their plan of care. It is expected that this plan will be regularly reviewed and updated as their care needs change.

A TCP is time-limited. The amount of time required will depend on an individual’s situation. However, the most common scenarios are as follows:

Usually people stay on the program for six to eight weeks and the limit is 12 weeks. Within this time, it is expected that people will have been assisted to access suitable longer-term care and support.

If further therapeutic benefit is possible, the program may request an extension from the Aged Care Assessment Service (ACAS) for a maximum period of 42 days (or 6 weeks). A further extension cannot be requested for a person who has already received the maximum extension during a particular period of care.

Restorative Care Program aims to improve your independence and confidence to return to everyday activities after surgery, a short-term illness, a relapse of a chronic condition, or while planning a safe discharge. While in the program, you can access a range of health and lifestyle services designed to meet your needs.

Services are offered as part of an ongoing care plan, giving you and your family time to consider and plan for your long-term care needs; this may include returning home with community support or becoming a resident in an aged care facility.

You will be supported by a Care Coordinator during the Program and the role of your Care Coordinator is to work with you and your family to identify what services you require, to meet your goals and assist you and your family with your discharge plans.

Services may include personal and/or nursing care (showering and dressing assistance), medical care, meals, transport to/from appointments, lifestyle activity program, and low-level therapies such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, podiatry and dietetics.

To make sure you can access the help you need at an affordable price, the government subsidises a variety of organisations across Australia. These organisations are called service providers. They deliver care and services to you at a subsidised price. Euroa Health has been accredited as a provider to deliver CHSP services to the community.

If you are eligible, you’re expected to contribute to the cost of your care if you can afford to. The cost depends on the type of service you require the current client contribution at Euroa Health (put link here for cost table)

First you will need to be assessed. After that a member of the team will review your referral and contact you to discuss expected waiting times.

There are a few things to consider when choosing the right provider for you. Each organisation will provide services differently and may charge different costs. It’s important to think about your own priorities, needs, budget, and location, and compare providers before deciding. At Euroa Health we are committed to delivering CHSP that meets your needs within our community. We ensure continuity of care and our service delivery team are experts delivering high quality best practice care.
