Emerging from a hospital stay can prove a daunting task – particularly for our esteemed seniors. Whatever one’s ailment, the journey back to life’s daily rhythm demands meticulous planning and unwavering support.
Hence, Acquaint extends a suite of after-hospital home care services for its Melbourne clients – expertly designed to promote a safe, easy and triumphant recovery.
From day-to-day comforts to live in care, we provide whatever you may need. And upon your recovery? We’re still only ever a call away.
Why after-hospital care at home?
While hospitals do incredible work in delivering acute care, they emphasise stabilisation and treatment rather than long-term recovery.
So it’s only natural for older people to feel… uncertain about their ongoing care.
Enter after-hospital home care – a beacon of hope, if you will, extending crucial aid and support. It grants people the ability to focus on regaining independence as they recover, so they can get back to living in their element.
Our approach to effective after-hospital care
With our team of professional nurses and carers, we take a highly personalised approach to our clients’ after-hospital care. Always.
Comprehensive assessment
First, we’ll put the kettle on. Brew some tea. And really get to know you.
Our experienced nurses and care professionals will identify your physical, emotional and social goals during recovery. Then, we’ll craft a bespoke care service to get you back on track.
Skilled nursing care
For people used to luxury, only luxury will do.
At Acquaint, our esteemed private nursing care team is an assemblage of only the best in the business. At the helm stands our Principal Nurse, the ever-watchful custodian overseeing our company-wide high standards in professional nursing practice.
Meanwhile, our diligent day-to-day and live in carers are there to ensure your personal hygiene, prepare nutritious meals, administer medication, monitor your health conditions, provide home assistance – and report any changes to your condition to our Service Managers.
In conclusion, you’re in the best of hands.
Daily living assistance
Even though we can and will do the big things – like ensure a swift and safe recovery after your hospital stay – we know it’s the little things that count.
Our compassionate carers are here to help with daily personal care like bathing, dressing, meal preparation and medication reminders.
But we know you are a person with agency and more than capable of maintaining your independence, for goodness’ sake. Our role is merely to facilitate all the things you would otherwise do yourself.
So, for those who cherish the classic elegance of pearl jewellery or hold dear the allure of a twin set, fear not. Our commitment extends to ensuring your impeccable appearance remains as healthy as your wellbeing.
Social support
Amidst the confines of hospital halls, solitude can creep in – followed by feelings of anxiety or depression.
Enter our devoted carers, administering the endless compassion and conversational prowess necessary to keep you connected to your community – and reinstate a sense of normalcy through regular social engagements.
So whether you need a card game partner, café companion or sounding board, we’ll be there to ensure you never walk the path alone.
