"Rising Through The Moment"

About: Prince of Wales Hospital / ASB 3S - Community Management Centre

(as a carer),

My brother and I had our doubts about whether our 84-year-old dad—who lives alone and has hearing difficulties—would be able to cope with the remote monitoring app recommended by the nurse practitioner for his heart failure.

Still, everyone deserves a chance. After the cardiologist appointment, my brother and dad were introduced to the app. To help get started, they were provided with an iPad with a larger screen, which is already a great help for dad.

Although I only had a brief glimpse, watching via my phone, I saw a passionate nurse guiding my brother and dad through the app. It felt like watching a nurse on YouTube tutorial. Thank you, Susan.

Susan lifted my dad’s spirits and reassured him that this is possible, and that help is just a phone call away. Every journey starts with a step.

She also mentioned that a team of nurses would be monitoring the data that dad submits, and they’ll only call if something needs attention. What a thoughtful and supportive service.

Hello silverwarecm97,

Thank you for taking the time to provide the positive feedback regarding the care provided by the Community Management Centre (CMC).

It is wonderful to hear that CMC has provided safe person-centred health care through virtual platforms to your father. Everyone does deserve a chance, and it is often such a success. I will ensure your feedback is passed onto Susan and the CMC team.

I hope your father's health care journey continues to be supported in such a positive way through the CMC.

Kind Regards,

Brenton Ciani
