Transition Care Program (TCP)
SWAMS Transition Care Program (TCP) provides short-term, culturally appropriate care designed to improve and maintain the confidence and independence of older people after a hospital stay. Support is provided to eligible clients to assist in the transition between hospital and home and to assist in your continued recovery for up to 12weeks, with a possible extension of a further 6 weeks.
An individualised Care Plan will be developed in consultation with your family and carers that meets your needs and goals. It is a fully funded program, so there is NO COST to participants and will not affect Centrelink or other Government payments. A case manager is assigned to coordinate the services and manage the care plan, which is updated as the client recovers and where their needs/ goals change.
When TCP ends, if you need additional support, SWAMS can assist inplanning or accessing community or residential aged care programs and support services including Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP), Home Care Packages (HCP) or National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Flexible Aged Care Program (NATSIFAC). If you have previously received these aged care services, they are placed on hold whilst you receive TCP.
SWAMS can assist you to return to these previous services, if appropriate.
The Kalil Mordidjabiny (Home becoming strong) /Â Transition Care Program (TCP) is a time-limited, goal-orientated program designed to improve or maintain independence and confidence after a stay in hospital. Extra support is provided in your own home to help with continued recovery, assist in going from hospital to home and help you plan arrangements for the future.
TCP is a time limited service, and can be provided for up to twelve weeks.
If you or your family member (over 50+years) is in hospital or expecting admission to hospital, you could benefit from some additional assistance when you go back home.
