Care Liaisons
At HSS we understand how confusing and time consuming it can be to wade through the multitude of community services available to find the one that will suit you or your loved one. The forms can be difficult to understand and getting time to ring services can be hard with the pressures of work and family commitments.
We have the skill, expertise and knowledge to do this for you. We can work with you to identify your needs, contact service providers, fill in the forms, check on the progress of applications, provide feedback and updates to you and your family, and keep your GP informed.
Whether it is an ACAT assessment for an increase in services, making an application to a meal service provider, or talking you through your options, we have case managers who can become your ‘Care Liaison’ and provide their years of experience to help you.
We will work with you, your family and other health service providers to help you negotiate your way to the community services you need.
