| Medical
Care
In conjunction with high calibre visiting
physicians, our nursing staff are able to provide expert, compassionate
care for patients with acute medical conditions such as hypertension,
(high blood pressure), a range of respiratory illnesses and palliative
care.
Patients may be directly admitted to the hospital and managed by
their family practitioner, or in conjunction with visiting general
and specialised physicians.
Highly trained staff deliver chemotherapy either in our comfortably
furnished day treatment area or overnight, depending on individual
health care needs.
Our admissions and discharge coordinator is available to work closely
with patients, their families and healthcare team to ensure a safe,
timely return to the community after hospitalisation. She can assist
in coordinating a comprehensive range of home support services in
conjunction with a range of private and community-based providers.
If needed, the coordinator can also assist in coordinating the Aged
Care Assessment Team (ACAT) and in subsequently securing accommodation
in an aged care facility appropriate to your needs as assessed by
ACAT.
