Community Transition Care Program - Southern Cross Care (WA)

What is the Transitional Care Program (TCP)?

The Southern Cross Care (WA) Community Transition Care Program (CTCP) offers short-term, goal-focused, low-intensity therapy in your home. It is designed to help you transition back into your home following a hospital stay.

Your Program Coordinator and the Multidisciplinary Team will work alongside you to set your goals, focusing on your personal targets to maintain or improve your physical and mental wellbeing.

The program provides a range of support services tailored to your needs and goals.

You will have access to our team of health professionals, including nurses, allied health (Occupational Therapist, Physiotherapist, etc), and our wonderful team of multi-skilled Support Workers.

Meet Derryle

Meet Derryle, our first client in our new Community Transition Care Program which supports clients to transition back into the home after hospitalisation.

After spending 40 days in the hospital after a fall, Derryle has finally been able to return home safely with support from our CTCP team.

Through TCP, Derryle receives daily personal care, physiotherapy sessions five days a week, and clinical care twice a week.

“All staff are very friendly and have helped me. I want to stay at home for as long as possible and they have been very good.”
