Recovering from illness, injury or an operation is a time when many people need extra help.
Contact UsIf you’ve recently undergone surgery, or been injured, then tlc4u2’s rehabilitative care services can help you during your recovery process.
A service coordinator will meet with you to discuss your individual needs – both medical and non-medical. This information will help us determine what level of care you’ll need and how long you’ll need it for, which can then be used to put together a personalised care plan for you.
tlc4u2 also liaises with Allied Health Services to support clients with occupational therapy and physiotherapy services. Our holistic wraparound service is designed to help you get back on your feet as soon as possible.
A kaitiaki/caregiver will be selected for you based on what sort of rehabilitation care you require, and they will assist you during the assignment period. Their duties may include:
· Companionship
· House help tasks
· Personal care tasks
· Meal preparation
· Transport to and support during follow-up appointments
· Assisting you in performing rehabilitation exercises and stretches.
Alan, 71, engaged the services of tlc4u2 for assistance prior to undergoing surgery for knee reconstruction. With no family members living close by and little social support, Alan came to us for the extra support he needed. He needed our support to be safe in his home, and he also needed assistance with homecare and personal care tasks while he recuperated.
After a thorough assessment was completed, a caregiver was introduced to Alan. The caregiver worked with Alan for 2 weeks while he recovered his mobility, supporting him in his follow-up appointments, managing his pain with regular analgesia and encouraged him to regain his independence. Alan has now returned to his position as a pastor for his local church in Northland.
