J, a resilient young person with learning disabilities and autism, faced significant challenges during their time in an inpatient unit. Initially living at home with 2:1 support, J was admitted to a distant hospital after a crisis. This situation led to escalating behavioural challenges, requiring 24/7 4:1 support and causing staff burnout. The potential move to a medium secure unit threatened further isolation and increased costs. However, a recommendation led to Nurseline Healthcare’s Community Transition Services stepping in.
Nurseline’s Community Transition Services adopted a holistic, person-centred approach to support J’s transition from hospital to home. The team, including PBS specialists and Community Psychiatric Nurses, developed a comprehensive care plan based on J’s unique needs and strengths. They implemented a phased transition strategy, building strong relationships with J over four months and preparing a new provider team for a seamless handover.
Today, J experiences significantly improved behaviour, an enhanced support system, and substantial cost savings for the healthcare system.
