Transitional Care essentially involves having a patient move from one care setting (e.g. hospital, nursing home, assisted living facility) to another. The need for transitional care arises given the growing ageing population and complexity of medical conditions. Patients are often faced with frequent rehospitalisation due to multiple reasons, such as lack of confidence, knowledge and support regarding performing self-care and identifying worsening symptoms.

At Ninkatec, we focus on having patients discharged to their homes safely, while ensuring care continuity and enhancement of quality of life. Before patient’s discharge, Ninkatec Team would discuss with patient and family various aspects of home care management after discharge, including:

• Helping family and caregivers to be more confident in caring for patients at home
• Ensuring smooth transition and continuity of care in between hospital visits
• Provision of medical, nursing care, allied health support at the comfort of patients' homes

Contact Ninkatec Team prior to bringing the patient from hospital to home for a customised home care plan that best suits the need of your loved one and family.
