My mother passed away from cancer when i was young. Fortunately my brothers generous wife is a nurse, and my mother was able to stay at home until her last breath - which we all witnessed around her bed. The most supreme moment of my life. So of course, im a huge advocate of home care services.
The issue here is being house bound, when all you want to do is get out and chat
Along comes the clever caring folk from Silver Chain..... you may know them from their home care and nursing services they provide. We had the FINE privilege of working on an Australian first health care program Integrum Aged Care+ a new service being trialed by Silver Chain "to support and empower people with complex chronic conditions, keeping them safe at home and out of hospital."
So..... instead of running around all day and sitting in lifeless waiting rooms, Silver Chain Integrum Aged Care+ offers an Australian first service. They pick you up in their own vans, you get to socialise with the other patients and get driven to a facility which has all the right practitioners under one roof. And get this - you dont even need to change rooms - the health care practitioners rotate around the patients! You get to relax in a warm spacious waiting room with access to all the home comforts plus you get to chin wag all you like with anyone else in the room.
We assisted the great team at Total Project Solutions in the Design and Construct projects to deliver two centres ready for the public to access these services. We're very pleased with the outcomes and long list of clients who agree - like HERE.
