Home Link is a multidisciplinary community focused service based at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, which provides a range of medical, nursing and allied health interventions. Its current focus is to undertake hospital substitution services for patients living in the metropolitan area and, by negotiation outlying areas, in the form of Hospital in the Home and Allied Health Rehabilitation. In the future Home Link will also have an increasing role in the prevention of hospital presentations and admissions.
There is no age restriction for adult referral to Home Link, but patients should genuinely require services to be provided in the home. Patients who are able to travel into the hospital for Allied Health outpatient services should not be referred.
Home Link takes referrals directly from the Emergency Department, inpatient wards and outpatient clinics for patients who require Hospital in the Home or Post Acute Care or Allied Health Rehabilitation services. Direct referrals from GPs are not accepted.
Services are usually provided for the short-medium term (2-6 weeks) and if ongoing care in the community is required Home Link staff will refer patients to other community service providers.
