- supports older people who require more time and support to heal and to improve their health outside the hospital
- allows older people to return home rather than enter residential care
- provides case management and after hours contact in the case of emergency
- gives older people time to finalise their long-term care arrangements.

The transition care program is suitable for older people at the end of their hospital stay. The program includes:
- short-term support – up to 12 weeks
- active management of care by staff
