Congratulations & Thank You to Tamika!

We're pleased to announce that she will be embarking on a new adventure, transferring to Dovida Mandurah Office. Tamika provided part-time support within our Scheduling team in office, and was a huge asset to the team during the Support at Home changes.

It has been a wonderful period with Tamika being apart of our Circle of Care at Dovida Perth North East office and sad to see her depart. However, this will not be goodbye from us at Perth North East but more so see you soon, at the next annual WA Dovida Awards Night!

We wish Tamika all the best for her new journey in her professional carer and we know she will continue to provide extra support of care coordination of caregiver services for Dovida clients in the future. ❤

Dovida Perth North East Caregiver Meetings!🤝

With so many recent changes across Support at Home services, ongoing clinical education and informing our Caregiver's on these changes has never been more important. Supporting our Circle of Care that includes our Caregiver's with the knowledge and confidence they need to deliver safe, high-quality care.

Fun fact: Team bonding activities create shared experiences that build familiarity and trust. When employees solve challenges together or share informal moments, they understand each other’s strengths and thought processes. That clarity reduces hesitation and builds confidence during real projects. Such as our moments at the recent Caregiver meeting; we had broken up into groups to build the highest tower out of A4 paper. The team who had the longest standing structure, had successfully passed the challenge.

Hospital to Home - Reducing Readmissions Through Better Community Handover🤝

The transition from hospital to home represents one of the most vulnerable periods in an older person’s care journey. Without proper coordination between healthcare providers and community services, patients face increased risks of complications, falls, medication errors, and hospital readmission. For referral partners, understanding how to facilitate smooth handovers can significantly improve outcomes for the people you support.

Effective hospital-to-home transitions require coordination across multiple touchpoints. Discharge planners need timely responses from community care providers, whilst patients and families need clear information about available support options. The key is early engagement – ideally, discussions about post-discharge care should begin as soon as admission occurs, particularly for older patients with complex needs.

Successful transitions also depend on practical preparation. Has the home been made safe for someone with reduced mobility? Are groceries available? Is bed linen clean? Can the person manage showering and meal preparation independently? These seemingly small details can make the difference between a smooth recovery at home and an emergency readmission.

Home care providers such as Dovida Perth North East can support this transition by offering settling-home services – helping prepare the home before discharge, providing transport from hospital, and ensuring immediate support is available for personal care, meals, and medication reminders. This wraparound approach addresses both clinical and practical needs during the vulnerable early days at home.
