Post-Hospital Care in Melbourne Convalescent & Recovery Support
After a hospital stay, recovery happens at home. My Evervale provides post-hospital care, restorative programs and short-term respite across all of greater Melbourne often starting within 48 hours of discharge.
What is post-hospital care?
Post-hospital care covers the support an older person needs in the days and weeks after a hospital admission. The right care here prevents readmission, restores independence and gives families peace of mind.
The four pathways out of hospital
- Transition Care Programme (TCP) — short-term, government-funded, designed to help you regain independence after hospital. Lasts up to 12 weeks.
- Short-Term Restorative Care under Support at Home — up to 8 weeks of intensive multidisciplinary support to restore function.
- Residential respite — short stay in an aged care facility while you recover.
- In-home recovery support — privately-funded or via your Home Care Package / Support at Home budget.
