Transition Care Program for Aged Care

What is the Transition Care Program?

The Juniper Transition Care Program (TCP) provides short term care for up to 12 weeks for those who need additional support after staying in hospital. You can receive this care in a residential home, your own home, or a combination of both. This goal-orientated program looks to improve your health and mobility, so you can continue to live independently at home. If you need longer term support and care, the Transition Care Program lets you explore future living arrangements. Juniper will collaborate with you to achieve the best outcomes. We have multi-disciplinary teams to meet your wellbeing goals.

Elizabeth bowled over by TCP

“They’ve accepted me for who I am, not for what I am at the moment… that has gone a long way to my rehabilitation,” says Juniper Transition Care Program customer Elizabeth Jackson.

“The range of different cultures working with Juniper made it doubly good – I enjoyed the interactions, which made it quite special,” says Juniper Transition Care Program customer Peter Dunlop.

Meet TCP Navigator John Sillah

John brings a valuable mix of experience to his navigator role. He has worked as a community carer, a Care Partner, and later as a social worker in palliative care after completing his social work degree.

“My social work background and Home Care experience really support the navigator role – especially when it comes to troubleshooting and care planning,” John said.

John discovered his passion for aged care while working as a carer, realising he had a natural ability to connect with people and build strong relationships.

Over the past two years as a navigator, John has supported customers both in the community and at Juniper’s Annesley and Hayloft sites in Bentley and Martin.

“There’s great satisfaction when someone shares how they’re feeling and you’re able to provide reassurance and guidance,” he said. “It really feels like you’re making a difference.”

Meet TCP Navigator Gerard Quigan

It’s important that customers see Gerard as genuine, approachable and solution-focused.

“I enjoy solving problems and thinking outside the box,” Gerard said. “While I understand the clinical side, I don’t come from a clinical background, which means I can explain things in a way that’s easy for customers to understand.”

Gerard joined Juniper three years ago as a Care Partner and moved into the Navigator role a year ago. He now supports customers in the community and at Juniper’s Karrinyup and Albany sites.

Before entering aged care, Gerard spent 37 years as a chef in New Zealand. After moving to Tasmania to be closer to his ageing in-laws, he began working as a Community Support Worker.

He later became a Care Partner, where he loved building relationships and seeing the difference he could make in people’s lives.

Now working in TCP, Gerard enjoys the program’s short timeframes and holistic approach.

“The support is intensive, but the results are often fast – physically and mentally. Seeing people regain confidence so quickly is incredibly rewarding,” he said.

What our customers and families say about their experiences with Juniper's Transition Care Program

“I want to spend some kind words to thank you and your staff for all they have done for my Mother. Our journey with you has been fantastic to say the least. I would not have been able to get my mother home without your help and assistance. In fact, I feel the reason she is doing so well is because she was at home with your help. You gave her the gift of supported independence. With your staff’s help and support my mum has started chemo again. I thought at one stage this would not be an option for her. But with your help and support my mother made Christmas. You have given us time. So much more time a time to smile, the time to eat together and the time to share each other’s company. We appreciate your help and support. John, thanks for organising everything and over seeing her treatment. Putting in place the people she needed to help get her better. I can’t thank them enough.”

TCP customer’s family

“I was really impressed with the excellent service mum received from Juniper. Your team went over and above to help Mum and make her life easier to keep living in the home. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to you Gerry for all your practical help, wise insight and encouragement to mum and myself especially – in navigating our way forward in many difficult and tricky situations. You have made the whole TCP experience pleasant and easy and minimised many potential issues and problems. I will have no problems in recommending Juniper as an excellent, sincere and outstanding facility to provide a high level of care services to those in need.”

The reablement approach

Our Transition Care Program takes a reablement approach.

Reablement supports people to be as independent as possible, for as long as possible. It places choice and control in the customer’s hands.
