After a stay in a hospital, some people need a bit of extra care and support. Transitional care is available and can be offered both in the person’s own home or – if their care needs are greater – in a ‘live-in’ environment such as a hostel or residential aged care home.
For some people, recovery doesn’t go as well as they’d hoped, and a permanent move back to their own home isn’t possible. A transitional care setting can be the best place to assess your ongoing care needs and consider what the best next move is.
