Consider engaging TGCA for an afternoon, a night or daily during your initial stay back home.

Consider engaging a TGCA carer to meet you at the hospital, help you collect your belongings and assist you during transportation to you home.

Once at home, put your feet up and enjoy a cup of tea!

Your TGCA carer can prepare your next meal, get laundry underway, source your groceries and liaise with your pharmacy, GP, family or staff back at the hospital. Your spouse, family or friend can take over later in the day.
