My Home Hospital expands to Southern Fleurieu
17 Apr 2023
The service expansion means people who need public hospital-level care, such as infections requiring IV antibiotics, exacerbation of respiratory conditions or immediate post operative care, can be offered the choice to have that care safely delivered in the comfort of their own home.
As well as daily visits from highly skilled nurses and paramedics, patients are remotely monitored using technology, giving round the clock virtual care.
My Home Hospital is a service delivered by Calvary Medibank Joint Venture. It has provided care to more than 6,500 patients since its launch in January 2021, and it is currently available in metropolitan Adelaide and the regions surrounding Gawler and Mount Barker.
The service is also now available in ten towns across the Southern Fleurieu Peninsula, from Encounter Bay to Goolwa.
Patients can be referred to My Home Hospital by medical professionals, including general practitioners, emergency department clinicians, nurse practitioners, SA Virtual Care Service clinicians and SA Ambulance Service paramedics.
