Post Acute Care Service

Post Acute Care Service (PACS) is a short term program (for up to 2 weeks, depending on your needs) that aims to help you recover after illness or injury. You will be assessed by our healthcare staff who will provide treatment and education to assist your recovery at home. Your regular doctor (General Practitioner) will also help with your medical needs.

Our team can deliver services by:

• phone
• video calls (telehealth)
• clinic appointments; or
• home visits.
