Supporting your move into aged care

Southern Regional Medical Group (SRMG) provides trusted healthcare services to residents of aged care facilities in Albany, Western Australia.

Our model of care provides consistent, coordinated and accessible healthcare, with a dedicated team of clinicians supporting each aged care facility.

Our Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are the primary point of contact for residents’ day-to-day healthcare needs. They regularly visit each facility to check in with residents, assess their health needs and provide treatment and ongoing care.

Each facility also has a dedicated team of SRMG GPs who work closely with the NP and provide medical review, clinical input and GP care when required. When you move into an aged care facility, you will be allocated a GP from that facility’s team, supporting better communication and continuity of care.

Your NP and GP communicate regularly about your health and wellbeing and can arrange prescriptions, specialist referrals, x-rays, blood tests and other diagnostic investigations, helping to manage your healthcare within the facility wherever possible.

If you are an existing SRMG patient moving into residential aged care, your care will transition to the SRMG team at your new facility, with your medical history and ongoing needs considered as part of the transition.
