Today the Australian Institute for Health and Welfare has published Transition care for older people leaving hospital: 2005-06 to 2012-13. This report looks at the Transition Care Program which assisted more than 87,000 people between 2005 and 2013. 81% of the recipients completed their planned care under the program, and of them 76% had improved functional status. 54% of care recipients returned to live in the community, and of these two thirds did not enter residential aged care within 12 months.
