About the Department:
Ambulatory Aged Care Programs (AACP) consist of 3 programs: Transition Care Program (TCP), Restorative Care Program (REST) and GEM In The Home (GITH).
- The Transition Care Program provides short term support and active management for older people at the interface of the acute/sub-acute and residential aged care sectors. It is goal oriented, time limited and targets older people at the conclusion of a hospital episode who require more time and support in a non-hospital environment to complete their restorative process, optimise their functional capacity and finalise and access their longer-term care arrangements.
- Restorative Care Program provides the same support and management as TCP; the clients in Restorative care are inpatients of GV Health while on this program. They can be younger clients (50+) and do not require an ACAS assessment to access the program.
- GEM in The Home service is part of the suite of services provided through Sub – acute Ambulatory Care Services (SACS) funding stream. SACS services are person focused and operate within an integrated service delivery model utilising interdisciplinary team-based care with an emphasis on flexible service delivery in a range of care settings. The aim is to improve and maintain a person’s functional capacity and maximise their independence.
