“Our main objective through home care is to improve health outcomes, and something simple like having a local equipment pool adds great value to the service we provide.” Wait times for deliveries in regional areas can sometimes be lengthy, but Calvary Flinders Far North Home Care Service Centre has created an equipment pool in the Whyalla satellite office to speed up client access to small equipment aids. Service Centre Manager Fiona said case managers can instantly access equipment enabling cooking and self-grooming to help maintain independence and improve safety in the home. “After an occupational therapy assessment, our case manager can access these items instantly for a client, take it to them and educate them on how to use them so that independent living is easier.” #calvaryhomecare #homecareservices #occupationaltherapy #OT

Calvary welcomes today’s Commonwealth Government funding announcement for infrastructure and equipment upgrades to support Calvary Lenah Valley Hospital’s commitment to expand maternity services alongside the public health system. This is excellent news for expectant mothers in Hobart, and ensures obstetricians and midwives across the not-for-profit and public sectors can partner to increases capacity for maternity services locally. We look forward to partnering with the Tasmanian Government on next steps, while also seeking to secure the necessary skilled workforce. It is important to recognise this funding is for necessary infrastructure and we still need private health insurers to work with us to ensure appropriate funding is achieved to ensure maternity services are sustainable at Calvary Lenah Valley Hospital. #calvarylenahvalley #hobarthealth
