As we age, our health needs often change with us, and it can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming to stay on top of managing your health. Here at TriCare, we understand that it can be a big deal to trust an Aged Care Residence with your healthcare.
So we thought we’d share how we manage the medications and health issues of our residents, so you can see how attentive our senior health care can be.
When you move into a TriCare Aged Care Residence (also called an Aged Care home), we work closely with you, your family, and your healthcare providers to create personalised care plans that address your individual needs and preferences.
From medication management to chronic disease monitoring, our dedicated team is committed to promoting the health, independence, and quality of life of everyone in our care.
How TriCare takes care of your medication and health management
We know that good health helps people to live a full life. Effective medication and health management are the core principles of our approach to care as we strive to empower our residents to live their best life.
TriCare’s Aged Care Residences provide specialised senior health services for anyone who has specific medical needs or requires careful medication management. We treat everyone in our residences as if they’re our own family, and we’re committed to ensuring that everyone receives the best possible senior health care through comprehensive and compassionate health management.
With over 55 years of experience in providing specialised Aged Care, TriCare is dedicated to providing our residents with compassionate care, safety and comfort. We take a multi-faceted approach to health care, and effective medication management for our residents is just the beginning.
From regular senior health assessments and 24/7 on-site registered nurses, to personalised care and nutrition plans, our facilities are staffed with expert medical professionals committed to supporting the health and longevity of our residents.
Diligent medication management tailored to you
Proper medication is important to ensure you are feeling your best and that your body is working as well as it can. Our medication management processes are designed to take the worry out of managing multiple prescriptions and complex dosing schedules, or staying up to date with what medicines you might need.
Personalised medication plans
Each of our residents is on their own health journey with their own unique medical needs. That’s why we develop personalised medication plans in close consultation with healthcare professionals, including your chosen GP. These plans are carefully tailored to address your specific medical requirements, ensuring each resident receives the medication and dosages suited to their individual health needs.
Regular medication reviews
To keep our residents healthy and thriving, we conduct regular medication reviews and communicate these with you and your family. Our dedicated pharmacists and healthcare professionals assess your medication plan to ensure they’re up-to-date and make any necessary adjustments. This proactive approach helps us manage potential side effects or interactions between medications, always keeping your comfort in mind.
Safe and precise medication administration
Our trained staff follow strict protocols for administering medications. We ensure medications are given at the correct times and in the correct doses, reducing the risk of any errors. Our advanced medication management systems help us track and monitor the administration process, enhancing accuracy and accountability while maintaining a warm approach to ensure our residents are comfortable and at ease.
We approach your health with care and proficiency
Imagine a place where your health is nurtured with the same dedication and care you’d expect from family – this is the TriCare experience. Our team of skilled senior healthcare professionals works diligently to ensure that each resident receives the appropriate care tailored to their individual needs, allowing TriCare to offer a range of specialised services in caring for those who require extra assistance.
Our registered nurses are onsite 24/7 for your peace of mind
We understand that health concerns can arise at any time, which is why our skilled registered nurses are available around the clock. This constant, caring presence provides our residents and their families with peace of mind in their everyday life, ensuring prompt attention to any health issues with expertise and a smile.
Chronic disease management
Many of our residents live with chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and arthritis. Our comprehensive chronic disease management programs are designed not just to monitor these conditions, but to help our residents to live their lives as best as possible. Through regular health assessments, tailored care plans, and lifestyle modifications, our experienced nurses are dedicated to help improve the quality of life for each of our residents where they can.
Specialised and compassionate memory support care
Our Dementia and Specialised Care for residents with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease is delivered with extra care and understanding. From tailored medication management to cognitive therapies in a secure environment, our trained staff handle the unique challenges associated with these conditions with compassion.
You have access to a family of multidisciplinary experts
Our multidisciplinary approach to health management brings together doctors, nurses, pharmacists, dietitians, physiotherapists and other healthcare experts who work as a team. They collaborate to create and implement comprehensive care plans that address all aspects of your health, ensuring holistic and cohesive care.
We welcome the role of family in your health
We know the families of our residents play a vital role in their health and wellbeing. That’s why we warmly encourage family involvement in the care planning process and health management of their loved ones. We keep family members constantly informed about their loved ones’ health status and medication plans, and invite families to express any requests or concerns. By fostering a collaborative partnership with families, we aim to provide even more care and comfort for our residents.
Promoting your wellbeing by nurturing body, mind and spirit
We know that true health also extends beyond your physical health. Our holistic approach to our residents’ wellbeing can be seen by the broad range of services we offer to promote the health of each of our residents.
Social programs designed for your engagement and enjoyment
Beyond managing medications and health issues, we offer vibrant wellness programs that nurture your physical, mental, and social needs. These programs are designed to enhance the overall wellbeing of our residents and bring the community of our Aged Care homes closer together, offering you a healthy, active lifestyle filled with joy and connection.
Nourishing your body with seasonal restaurant-style meals
We know that a healthy diet and proper nutrition is the foundation of life well-lived, and we also believe eating should be a pleasurable experience. Our professional onsite chefs collaborate with nutritionists to create meals daily that are both delicious and tailored to meet your specific dietary needs. Whether you require a special diet for health reasons or simply have personal preferences, we can usually accommodate your needs.
At TriCare, our commitment to effective medication and health management is at the heart of everything we do. By combining personalised care plans, multidisciplinary collaboration, and the thoughtful use of technology, we ensure that our residents receive the highest standard of care.
