23.01.2022 Happy Australia Day - enjoy the day, look after each other and enjoy this beautiful country.

23.01.2022 The aged care royal commission has revealed that many older Australians prefer stay at home, calling for "far more urgent effort" to prioritise at home care over residential care. We couldn't agree more! Also from the commission: "Each hour of additional home care a week was associated with an appreciable 6 per cent lowering of the chance that the person would ever have to enter residential care. Home care should act as a stitch in time, preventing or at least delaying much more weighty problems and more costly forms of care." Read the full article below:

18.01.2022 When Lien found going to the hairdresser a struggle, she knew she needed help. Our team was more than happy to step in and help. Read her story below: "Due to arthritis and my advanced age, my mobility is limited and I can no longer walk to my local shopping area or visit my hairdresser. My activities have been confined to inside and around my home. With the limited use of my arms I can not lift them above my shoulders and constant pain, it has been very difficult for me ...to wash and set my hair without some agony. Being able to take care of myself and do what I want, without depending too much on others, has always been my wish in my later years. Lizzie, a case manager at Dementia Caring, introduced me to Karen, an occupational therapist. After an assessment, Karen recommended for me to get a scooter and together, Lizzie and Karen engaged with others from Mobility Caring to provide me with a free scooter trial, once I got clearance from my doctor. The process was very efficient. Mobility Caring delivered 2 scooters one with my favourite colour and model! - to my place within a week and the whole team has supported me with my test drive to ensure the right choice for back support and ease of operation. They gave me clear instructions and Karen declared I passed the test once I was able to drive the scooter properly to my shop and back - with a whole support team and my daughter walking behind me. I was so happy with the result! Without waiting any longer, I drove my new scooter to my hairdresser’s appointment the next day with mixed feelings of pride, happiness and gratitude for the dedication of the team of professionals who helped me fulfil my wishes for independence. I would like to thank the team of professionals from Dementia Caring, Mobility Caring, Super Rehab for a wonderful service that they have given me and the excellent outcome that helps me regain my independence in my routines.

18.01.2022 Wishing all the wonderful dads out there a happy Father's Day!

17.01.2022 From the very beginning, Anh and her husband Van have been in control of their care. If Anh needs something, she searches the Internet for information and texts her case manager, Lizzie, for help. "I enjoy working with Anh a lot, says Lizzie. It’s great to see the way she and Van look after each other and try to be independent. I like how they email or text me when they need support! Anh feels the same way: With older people like me, it’s important to understand how we’r...e feeling and be patient to treat us with dignity and respect. This is what HomeCaring do so well, and it makes me feel good!" Read more about their story below: https://www.homecaring.com.au/client-story-giving-the.../

10.01.2022 On a sunny day, 90-year-old Que loves nothing better than to spend time out in nature with his HomeCaring carer, Thuy. The pair often go for leisurely walks, laughing and chatting with each other as they stroll amongst the greenery of Sydney’s suburban south west. Being at home can be boring sometimes, so I’m always happy when Thuy arrives, as I can chat with her about anything, says Que. Thuy agrees. Walking isn’t just about the exercise; it’s also about companionship,... she says. We have a good chat when we’re out. I ask him questions about his life, and he tells me stories about his family.

08.01.2022 It’s wonderful to hear firsthand how our service has helped someone live life to the full (because really, that’s what it’s all about!). Here’s what one of our clients had to say: We have suffered much in the Vietnam war and came to Australia as refugees. The Australian government has treated us well, and this has become our second home. In the past, we have received caring services from other companies, but due to cultural differences, communication was difficult for us. Si...nce we came to Home Caring’s dementia service, we felt that our needs have been looked after much better, as we are now receiving care from people who speak our own language. The communication barrier is no longer there. I would like to say a special thanks to the Home Caring staff for such good quality service!

07.01.2022 "For each of my clients, I sit down, look at the person’s funding as a whole and think, What does this person need? How can we get the best outcome? How can I build resilience in this plan? I see myself as representing the family. It’s satisfying to know that I’m actually helping someone."
