About the Department:

Ambulatory Aged Care Programs (AACP) consist of 3 programs: Transition Care Program (TCP), Restorative Care Program (REST) and GEM In The Home (GITH).

The Transition Care Program provides short term support and active management for older people at the interface of the acute/sub-acute and residential aged care sectors. It is goal oriented, time limited and targets older people at the conclusion of a hospital episode who require more time and support in a nonhospital environment to complete their restorative process, optimise their functional capacity and finalise and access their longer-term care arrangements.

Restorative Care Program provides the same support and management as TCP; the clients in Restorative care are inpatients of GV Health while on this program. They can be younger clients (50+) and do not require an ACAS assessment to access the program.

GEM in The Home service is part of the suite of services provided through Sub – acute Ambulatory Care Services (SACS) funding stream. SACS services are person focused and operate within an integrated service delivery model utilising interdisciplinary team-based care with an emphasis on flexible service delivery in a range of care settings. The aim is to improve and maintain a person’s functional capacity and maximise their independence.
