Nurse-led home care, Brisbane North
Post-hospital care at home
Coming home from hospital is a relief, but the first few weeks can be the hardest part of recovery. You may be tired, less steady on your feet and managing new medications or a wound. Post-hospital care gives you short-term support at home while you get your strength back.

Who it is for
Older people returning home after a hospital stay, surgery, injury or illness who need extra help during recovery. Families often contact us before discharge so support is ready on the day of arrival home.
Planning ahead of discharge
The best time to arrange post-hospital care is before you leave hospital. If you, a family member or the hospital discharge team contact us early, we can:
- Talk with you about your discharge plan and what the hospital recommends
- Arrange a nurse to visit soon after you get home
- Set up personal care and housework so you are not managing alone in the first days
- Keep your GP informed and arrange allied health if needed
Hospital discharge planners and social workers can send us a referral directly through our referral form.
Rebuilding confidence and independence
Recovery is more than healing. Many people lose confidence after a hospital stay, especially after a fall. We focus on helping you do more for yourself as you recover, with support that steps back as you get stronger. If physiotherapy is part of your plan, our carers can encourage your exercises between sessions.
Support at Home
Funding care after hospital
Older people may be able to access the Restorative Care Pathway under Support at Home, which offers up to 12 weeks of short-term, allied-health-focused care to help regain independence. Existing Support at Home participants may be able to use their ongoing budget, and private care is also available. Talk to us or read how Support at Home works.
