The program is goal-based and can be delivered in the home (home based) or in a residential care setting (bed based). It is possible to transfer between one care setting to another during an admission to the program.

The Program is designed to assist people who can achieve further improvements in function with the view of returning home more independently, or, assisting with determining long term care needs and supporting the older person, family, carers and decision makers in planning for long term accommodation needs.

When commencing the program, a care coordinator will meet with the older person, family, carers, and decision makers. Together developing a care plan that supports achieving the identified goals. The care plan will also outline any services to be provided.
