A new name, the same commitment to you. Southern Cross Support Services and Programmed Care are now Kanda.
Transition Care
A Transition Care Program provides support to help you return home from hospital after an accident, injury or illness. This program is designed to help you reduce the length of your hospital stay and/or avoid having to move into a residential aged care home prematurely.
Support for your recovery
The Transition Care Program offers a wide range of home care and rehabilitation services designed to help you recover and get back to feeling like yourself as quickly as possible.
When admitted to the program, you will work closely with an allocated TCP Case Manager, who will coordinate your care and assist with future care planning. Together with your case manager and care team, you will establish recovery goals and develop a personal care plan according to your needs. This plan will be regularly reviewed and updated as your circumstances evolve.
The TCP provides case management, low-intensity therapy, and personal support, giving you more time in a non-hospital environment to complete your restorative process. It also allows you to finalise and access long-term care arrangements.
The program typically runs for up to 12 weeks, with the possibility of an extension to 18 weeks in some cases. During this time, any other funded services, such as a Home Care Package, will be paused and will resume once the Transition Care period ends.
Services offered through the Transition Care Program
The TCP follows a person-centred and collaborative approach, involving you in discussions, planning, and decision-making to achieve the best possible outcomes. If you’re unable to participate, a representative will act on your behalf to ensure your preferences and needs are met. The TCP provides a variety of services to support your recovery, including:
