Aged care nutrition
Our company have been working closely with AHP for PT and OT services for a number of years now in an RACF capacity and had an extremely proactive relationship. They were super adaptive with the changes between ACFI and AN-ACC between to old PMP model 4b model of service to the new ‘Wellness and Rehabilitation’ requirements with new Aged Care Reforms. With that, new guidelines and processes were promptly developed to specify Industry Standards, Governments Requirements and Ozcare requests, in which have all run extremely smoothly.
Working with the AHP aged care physiotherapy team has transformed my mother's mobility and overall well-being. The personalised approach and compassionate care she received not only improved her physical strength but also boosted her confidence and happiness.
