NEUROCARE
NEUROCARE is a specialist multi-disciplinary group offering comprehensive Liaison Neuropsychiatric support services to a broad spectrum of Healthcare Establishments.
Both brain-specific and general physical illnesses are capable of causing complications of brain or mind.
Complications can include attention deficit (ADD) symptoms, memory problems, dementia syndromes, emotional symptoms (depression, anxiety), behavioural abnormalities, biological dysfunction (sleep, appetite disturbance), confusional states (delirium), psychosis (hallucinations, delusions), dissociation or syndromes specific to certain brain areas (focal deficits).
Clinical services include multi-disciplinary outpatient consultation, virtual consultation, hospital liaison services, various options for hospitalization, critical services to retirement villages, and a broad offering of legal assistance.
Specialist tests available include pathological investigation (blood tests etc), brain imaging (MRI and CT scans), electrophysiology (EEG for epilepsy), muscle tests (EMG), nerve tests (NCS), detailed memory and attention deficit (ADD) assessment as well as options for remote screening and monitoring ( MediWeb).
Our specialists represent the fields of Liaison Psychiatry, clinical Neurology, applied Neurophysiology, diagnostic Neuroradiology, and all branches of Psychology including Educational- and Neuropsychology.
Home Support Initiative
There is a growing number of older people affected by illnesses such as Dementia, cerebro-vascular Stroke, Parkinson's disease and Depression.
Many find it difficult to access specialist clinics especially when they grow older and traveling becomes a bit more tedious. Sadly the result is that many neglect their health allowing illnesses to progress and serious consequences to develop.
Perhaps even more alarming is the common complication of ending up on long lists of unnecessary or even harmful medication when not instructed and monitored by a Specialist.
In order to solve these problems we offer various levels of community programs which offer comprehensive input from NEUROCARE professionals to selected retirement villages.
As such NEUROCARE supported establishments not only offer true critical Neuropsychiatric services to their residents but also gain a reputation for excellence in healthcare service delivery which add in most cases considerable value to investment.
Level 1a Service Agreements - Critical Screening
In broad terms NEUROCARE offer Level 1a Service Agreements to Establishments keen on providing their Residents state-of-the-art screening programs for the early detection of any brain-related illness. Such programs include regular in-person screening visits by NEUROCARE Clinicians on-site.
Clinicians are offered FREE of charge, whilst a detailed MEDIWEB screening module require R500 once-off.
Level 1b Service Agreements - PMB Motivation
Once confirmed as a Patient at risk Patients are given the option to request NEUROCARE to apply for Medical Aid PMB registration.
In most instances PMB registration will safeguard up to 15 Specialist consultations annually, 21 days in-hospital and all applicable tests such as blood-, urine- and MRI brain scans.
PMB applications are facilitated at an once-off fee of R500 per application.
Level 2a Service Agreements - Accurate Diagnosis
Level 2a Service Agreements offer arrangements for an initial detailed diagnostic test series, and the initiation of an applicable care plan.
As such Patients receive a formal assessment from a NEUROCARE registered Specialist who will order applicable blood and urine tests, an MRI brain scan, as well as an EEG electrophysiological test.
Generally once registered as a NEUROCARE Patient such Specialist consultation and requested tests are available on Medical Aid PMB registration, or alternatively through a short hospitalization procedure or discounted private-fee structure.
There are no additional fees for PMB registered Patients, except for occasional small co-payments on some Medical Aids. In most instances Patients gain up to R50 000 worth of PMB-enabled tests through NEUROCARE support.
Occasional Hospital Admission arrangements are offered at a once-of fee of R500.
Level 2b Service Agreements - Continuous Care
Regular review and continuous care has objectively been proven to be the biggest factors in achieving successful outcomes. Level 2b benefits crucially add regular NEUROCARE Medical Officer review, as well as monthly on-site Medical Specialist review enabling optimal clinical management.
All brain-related prescriptions, as well as occasional top-up tests are provided for, including Specialist preventative strategies and responsible sedation (where applicable).
Medical Officer review remains FREE of charge, whilst Specialist visits are fully funded from the approved PMB benefits. These essentially sponsored services is profoundly cost-effective compared to conventional external GP or any other service offerings.
MEDIWEB monitoring platforms enable coordinated care and clear continuous feedback to all involved at a minimal fee of R500/month. MEDIWEB Software Module are created by our very own Oxford (UK) based Development Group, and is considered of immense value in terms of offering true specialist screening, measuring and monitoring solutions.
Level 3a Service Agreements - Crises Hospitalization
As illnesses progress, additional medical events occur such as infection or accidental falls. Direct access to Specialist Hospitals at such times often prove critical to prevent catastrophe and regain health and function.
NEUROCARE Level 3a Service Agreements safeguard vital interventions such as seeing a Specialist on short notice, being admitted to a Medical Hospital without delay or being safely medicated at home.
This level of care is generally only available to those already registered on PMB and where specific arrangements have been put in place in advance.
Hospital Admission arrangements are offered at a once-of fee of R500 per admission.
Level 3b Service Agreements - Legal Assistance
Many Patients suffering brain conditions inevitably develop the need to be assisted with managing their personal affairs.
NEUROCARE has built a pristine reputation to assist with various processes such as Power-of-Attorney- and Curatorship applications or objective Competency judgments by way of Level 3b Service Agreements.
Generally speaking all such process can only follow from thorough recent assessment, and carries various administrative charges as listed on this website.
