We care for patients who live in the Alfred Health catchment area.
What to expect
As a GEM at Home patient, you can expect us to visit you between one and three times a day. You will need to be at home and available between 9.00am and 2.30pm each day.
Different members of our team will visit you, depending on what you need. You may be on the program for a few weeks, and your progress and ongoing care plan will be discussed with you and your family throughout your care.
