About the Unit

The Care in the Right Setting (CaRs) program aims to improve access to health care and reduce the demand on hospitals by improving flow and promoting the right care in the right time for the right outcome.

Patients receive quality care that is tailored to their individual health care needs.

The GEM/R-HiTH service provides care to admitted inpatients in their homes or suitable accommodation. This sub-acute service, led by a geriatrician and rehabilitation physician, facilitates multidisciplinary community-based care, enabling a seamless transition home. It supports a range of patients, including those with orthopaedic, stroke, respiratory, and chronic conditions, through short-term rehabilitation aimed at maximising functionality in their own environment. This care is delivered by medical staff, along with nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, social workers, dietitians and speech pathologists.

The RaSS model provides care in partnership with residential aged care facilities and GPs to provide care in nursing homes.
