Connecting Patients with Personalised Care

There are many different reasons that people end up needing a little extra help to live well in their own home. Ageing, injury, post-op recovery – they can all present obstacles to independent wellbeing. Fortunately, when living independently isn’t as straightforward as it used to be, support is available to enable a fulfilling life in the comfort of home.

While in-home private care can make a world of difference for those who need it most, many people don’t know where to start in seeking care or aren’t sure which kind of support is best for them. This is where the primary healthcare sector plays an invaluable role in helping patients identify and access the care that’s best for them. Sometimes this can mean informal advice or suggestions, while other times general practitioners will refer a patient directly for the support they need. With self-funded private care organisations like Private Care NZ, the process of connecting people with quality care via referral is made simple for GPs.

No one should have to leave behind the home they love, their belongings and a lifetime of memories just because they need extra care.

Give your patients the chance to remain in the place they know and love, while receiving expert care and support.

With in-home care organisations like Private Care NZ, your patients can access support quickly and easily – no need for strict referral criteria or approval from a Needs Assessment Service Coordinator (NASC). Getting fast access to much needed support can make all the difference for those who need it: help your patients take the first step towards the care they need.

Many private care organisations including Private Care NZ give patients the opportunity to only pay for the services they use – and they can change their level of support at any time.
