Step 1: Understanding your needs.
As you embark on your aged care journey, your first step involves getting in touch with us and exploring available services that aid in maintaining your independence at home or understanding what to expect in an aged care facility. This may involve looking into:
Help at Home:
Living independently in your own home may pose challenges as you age. If you find tasks becoming more difficult, seeking assistance is a viable option.
Short-term Care:
Whether recovering from a hospital stay or needing support during a family carer's absence, short-term care provides assistance in managing life's disruptions.
Aged Care Homes:
If living independently at home becomes challenging, even with carer support or home care services, transitioning to an aged care home may be a suitable option to consider. -
