The Gold Coast Transitional Care Centre (GCTCC) is poised to address the pressing needs of the Gold Coast community by establishing a cutting-edge facility dedicated to transitional care. This strategic initiative focuses on creating a premier institution combining regional focus with local engagement, leveraging international best practices to deliver exceptional patient care.
In response to the increasing demand for transitional care driven by an aging population and complex health conditions, the GCTCC is designed to meet these challenges head-on. The Centre will integrate global standards of care with world-class research and development (R&D), embracing best practices enhancing patient outcomes. By adopting the highest standards of transitional care, the GCTCC will ensure its services are both effective and aligned with international benchmarks.
GCTCC strives to enable older individuals to return to their homes post-hospitalisation. The aim is to prevent the premature entry of these individuals into residential aged care.
The Gold Coast Transitional Care Centre serves as a bridge in the continuum of care for older people who have completed their hospital stay, including acute and subacute care such as rehabilitation geriatric evaluation, and care management. It provides restorative care and additional time and support to help these individuals make decisions about their long-term aged care options if needed.
The centre will be crucial element in the healthcare journey of older individuals, providing essential therapeutic services and support to improve their quality of life and aid in their transition from hospital to home – Restorative support with dignity.
