ACC Homecare – Care after an injury
We work in partnership with Access Home Health for ACC Personal Care and Household Assistance, and the Serious Injury Service for those who need more intensive care, such as a spinal cord or brain injury. The service is overseen by a Registered Nurse who leads the team that manages your care, addresses queries, liaises with ACC and arranges any additional support that may be required.
If you would like Nurse Maude to provide your care, please ask your doctor or hospital staff to put ‘Nurse Maude via Access’ on the referral form.

CREST
The Community Rehabilitation & Enablement Support Team (CREST) provides an intensive programme of two to six weeks home-based assessment and rehabilitation by a skilled Support Worker. The service works with Older Persons Health Specialist Services, your GP and pharmacist.
