Inner South East Post Acute Care
The Inner South East Post Acute Care (ISEPAC) program aims to support patient's recuperation after a hospital episode, via the provision of individually tailored packages of community based care services.
PAC arranges support services in a timely, responsive manner and respects cultural values.
The program promotes health and independence whilst providing a vital link to ongoing community supports.
Where another program was providing supports prior to the hospital episode it is expected that these services will be resumed on the person's discharge to home and PAC can supplement that service.
