Transitioning between disability support service providers is a multifaceted process that can be emotionally charged for individuals and their families. In response to this, Drake Medox undertook a mission to revolutionise the transition experience. This case study provides an in-depth analysis of the strategies deployed and the outcomes achieved, as recounted by a client who has undergone the transition process with Drake Medox.
“During the onboarding, everyone in the Drake Medox team would check in on me with how the training was going - I was provided with weekly updates of the onboarding and often spoke to the girls in the office. I would be able to reach who I needed on the phone and even if I told information to the wrong person, I knew my message would get relayed to the right person. At the end of the transition, I was given the chance to tell the team how I felt it went from start to finish”.
