About Sub Acute Care Unit Townsville Hospital
Welcome to the Sub Acute Care Unit at Townsville Hospital in Queensland, Australia. Our establishment is a leading health institution that offers restorative and rehabilitation services to the community following medical or surgical issues. Our goal is to help patients regain their independence in daily living through specially designed programs and activities within our unit.
As a long-stay unit, we understand the importance of providing a comfortable environment for our patients and their families. Our facility includes community areas where patients can socialize and spend time with their loved ones. We encourage patients to dress in the daytime and wear appropriate footwear for their therapy programs.
For older patients, functional disability is often more critical than their medical problems. To address this, we offer a Comprehensive Geriatrics Assessment (CGA) with a multidisciplinary approach. Our team assesses and manages patients each weekday, with regular medical ward rounds and family meetings as part of the discharge planning process. We work closely with the Transition Care Program to ensure a successful discharge and ongoing functional improvement in the community.
In addition to our restorative services, we also provide inpatient rehabilitation at our custom-built 43-bed facility. Our aim is to promote independence in activities of daily living and help patients regain functional capacity after illness or injury.
For those who require outpatient rehabilitation, we offer specialist assessment and management through our various clinics. Our clinicians work closely with patients to create goal-directed rehabilitation programs that maximize functional independence.
We are proud to collaborate with the oncology team to offer the OncoGeriatric assessment clinic. This clinic focuses on early identification and management of frailty and geriatric syndromes in older adults with newly diagnosed cancer. Our specialist geriatricians perform comprehensive geriatric assessments and provide individualized recommendations.
To ensure accessibility for rural patients, we offer Telehealth services. This allows us to connect with rural facilities and provide services such as frailty and dementia diagnosis, assistance with capacity and placement decisions, and assistance with the formal diagnosis of dementia syndromes. Our Telehealth consultations can be performed in the patient's home, saving travel for frail patients.
To make a referral, please address it to the Rehabilitation Consultant through a letter format or HealthPathways. Email is our preferred delivery method, and we will strive to schedule an appointment or review the patient at the earliest convenience.
At the Townsville Hospital and Health Service, we acknowledge and respect the traditional custodians of the land on which our facilities have been built. We value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, culture, and knowledge.
Join us at the Sub Acute Care Unit in Townsville and let us help you on your journey to recovery and independence.
Reviews of Sub Acute Care Unit Townsville Hospital
"Can't speak highly enough about the care my husband is receiving. Thankyou so much ..."
"I can't speak highly enough of the staff and the treatment I have received in my 5 week stay in the SACU. I have been receiving physio to rebuild the muscles in my legs and bum to enable me to walk again after having 8 weeks on my back with no exercise at all. I am amazed at the muscle wastage from that inactivity. So far I have had 13 weeks in both the University Hospital and the SACU, and I have been treated with both respect and kindness from ALL of the staff in both places."
"When the local nurses even advise not to go there, you know it is not good. My partner was transferred there and it was 26hrs before even a doctor made themselves known. The care was pitiful and the whole place was depressing to say the least. Staff were rude and the doctors were even worse with one being very obstructive and unhelpful. There needs to be a person in charge that patients/family can go to when they have concerns about patient care."
