Make 2017 your year to get a little bit of help at home

A little bit of help goes a long way in helping seniors to stay healthy, active and connected to their community, and living independently in their own home.

This care and support is provided by Australia's many aged care workers (approximately 400,000[1]), and while they may not be family or friends, they are good, kind people who are very handy to have around.  
Home Care comes in all shapes and sizes and assists seniors to do more, achieve more and enjoy more in life. The kind of help available is:

• Housework
• Gardening and maintenance
• Personal care
• Installing ramps and other aids to make your home safer
• Transport to and from your medical and other appointments
• Meal preparation
• Respite care
• Physiotherapy, podiatry or other allied health services
• Seniors fitness programs
• Social activities and transport to get you out and about and connecting with friends
• Nursing care such as medication management

Depending on your circumstances, you may only need assistance for a short time, especially when you’re recovering from an injury or illness.

To access the Government funded Home Care Program, you’ll need to be assessed through My Aged Care.
