Well-connected and accessible health services provide the foundation that enables older persons to live well in their place of choice.
Our has a culturally diverse population of older persons living across urban, suburban and rural settings. In response, we work closely with health providers to commission and coordinate services that support older persons to stay well and socially connected in their preferred place of residence.
The PHN commissions and coordinates a range of programs across the aged care spectrum:
- Living well at home
- Living well with support (and care at end of life)
