About LCM Health Care
LCM Health, Aged and Community Care Services
LCM Health Care provides a broad range of health, aged and community care services in five States and Territories – New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and the Australian Capital Territory. Our Services include public and private hospital care, acute and sub-acute care, retirement and aged care services, and home based community care services.
Each year, our health care services care for some 80,000 inpatients providing some 440,000 days of hospital care. On an average day, we will have more than 800 inpatients in our hospitals. More than 4500 babies will be born in our six maternity units during the year. We also will provide 90,000 outpatient services, treat some 56,000 people through our emergency departments, and provide care for a further 90,000 people through our community-based services.
Our community care services encompass nursing and home care support services. More than 9000 clients per month are provided with home care support that enables older people, people who have been ill in hospital, and people with a disability to live independently in their own homes in the community.
Our health care services include specialist, sub-specialist and general medical and surgical services, maternity, rehabilitation, alcohol and other drugs, breast screening, outpatient medical and allied health services, emergency departments, inpatient and outpatient mental health services, community based palliative care and rehabilitation, respite care, artificial limbs services, community nursing and other outreach services.
Central to our mission, we are one of the largest palliative care service providers in Australia, with specialist palliative care services and facilities in five of our sites providing inpatient and community outreach services to over 6,500 people each year.
Our aged care services accommodate over 500 people in three levels of care – self-care or independent living, low care or hostel accommodation, and high care or nursing home accommodation.
There are more than 5700 full-time, part-time and casual staff working in the LCM Health Care system, including more than 2500 nurses. Some 126 doctors provide medical care in our facilities, with a further 1388 specialists providing visiting services.
