Chronic pain management through ACFI

Chronic pain affects both the resident and the facility!

  • A major cause of debility and depression within residential aged care
  • Lowers quality of life
  • Increased cost to facility through its effect on behaviours, depression, falls, general assistance required, medications, etc.

Our pain management sessions can ease these concerns!

  • Massage
  • Technical pain relieving equipment (TENS, Ultrasound)
  • Heat
  • Therapeutic exercise
  • Assisted stretching
  • Joint mobilisation techniques

Why choose Care Physiotherapy to deliver this?

The aspect that sets us apart from other physiotherapy agencies is our role in raising funds through ACFI.

  • We have an in-depth understanding of the Complex Health Care domain
  • We have structured our cost and program such that the facility stands to receive a net profit despite the level of physiotherapy involvement
  • Regular cost-benefit analysis is included in our service at no cost to you.
  • The system of treatment records we have developed ensures that pain management claims are easily validated
  • Increased clinical contact hours in turn lead to a more complete care program and higher satisfaction for all

Rather than simply claiming success, we can demonstrate what Care Physiotherapy is already achieving for our contracted facilities through hard facts and figures. So please give us a call and make an appointment with our ACFI consultant!

For residents who request therapy sessions on top of the level funded by your facility, Care Physiotherapy can also accommodate this need through a private arrangement. When applicable, our physios are also registered to administer treatment for residents through Medicare, or low-care DVA clients.
