Lisa's New Beginning: The Transition from Hospital to a Place She Can Now Call Home
Lisa spent nearly three decades in institutionalised care, experiencing complex mental health needs and limited control over her life. Known for her kind and caring nature, she often prioritised others’ needs over her own well-being, which further impacted her mental and physical health. Nurseline Community Services embraced a holistic and compassionate approach to support Lisa’s transition from hospital to community living.
‘It was difficult because she just wanted to stay in her bedroom. And then, over the weeks, that extended from the bedroom to other parts of the house, to the garden, and then it gradually went to being able to go out and have lunch.’
-Lesley Robins, Community Psychiatric Nurse, Nurseline Community Services
The team, comprising a Community Psychiatric Nurse (CPN), Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) Specialists, a General Manager, a Registered Manager, and other dedicated professionals, worked closely with Lisa to understand her unique needs. They developed a comprehensive care plan with innovative communication tools and phased transition strategies. Through consistent reassurance, hands-on support, and a focus on proactive approaches, Lisa gradually gained confidence, explored her new home, and eventually engaged with the wider community.
Today, Lisa leads a fulfilling and independent life, marked by significantly reduced behaviours of concern and improved self-care practices. Her journey highlights the significant impact of personalised, person-centred care.
