Clinical Care Assessment, Management and Monitoring

From time to time, having an objective clinical observation at home, can be good for everyone.

There is nothing more worrying than when a loved one is recovering from an incident. Be it an illness, a hospital visit (like surgery), or even a fall or accident at home. There are particular challenges that can occur, and this is especially true as a person ages. We offer greater peace of mind and reassurance for everyone when we conduct a clinical review to determine a person’s current state. This assessment can be organised by a care coordinator in consultation with the clinical care team.

The clinical assessment is done in consultation with you or a family member, and we take all the appropriate steps to adequately assess how to keep you (or a loved one) safe, at home. Our team will also introduce proactive strategies to help minimise risk and prevent clinical deterioration.

Whether you already have access to a Home Care Package or not, you can be assured that as a trusted partner, we’ll have your best interests at heart.  It’s like having another trained pair of eyes available for any given situation, and we find that working with the family is very beneficial when conducting any of the clinical assessments.

What We Do

As with every other service we provide, Proveda will always put you at the centre of everything we do.

Our organisation not only provides services and supports for aged care package customers, but it also assists customers with complex health care needs through its social work program. A GP referral is required to access the program, which provides more complex and specialist assistance for many people and families experiencing various ageing, psychological or physical conditions.

Providing clinical care services is an extension of our care management, as it relates to an older person’s physical or cognitive function, capacity, condition and mental health, and is a crucial extra service we provide.

Information gleaned from a clinical assessment helps inform decisions around required supports, which in turn, helps the Care Circle teams provide the services needed to assist in maintaining independent living at home. Adequate planning and preparation for a safe home living environment is essential, and clinical care reviews can help with forward planning.

The Types of Services Available to You Include:

Clinical Care Assessment
Psychogeriatric Assessment Scale / Cognitive Decline
Rowland Universal Dementia Assessment Scale (RUDAS)
Continence Assessment
Falls Risk Assessment (FRAT)
Wound Assessment
Medical Management and Support
Clinical Monitoring and Follow-Up
