22.01.2022 Last Sunday’s announcement meant more easing of restrictions for Victorians. ......and seeing smiling faces when outdoors. Victoria is slowly opening back up which means you can be out and about more. If you require some assistance to go shopping, or transport to take you to and from a social outing one of our CAREGivers can lend a helping hand in this. If you know someone who needs a helping hand, contact us at Home Instead on 9877 3773 to see if we can provide any support... or coordinate help. https://easternsuburbs.homeinstead.com.au . . . #shopping #transportation #helpinghand #tousitspersonal #HomeInstead #HomeInsteadSeniorCare #CAREGiving #seniorcare #agedcare #CAREGivers #ICARE2020 #HISCMES #youcancare #easternsuburbsmelbourne #localbusiness #covid19 #helpingseniors #staySafe #stayHomeInstead #whitehorse #maroondah #manningham

19.01.2022 "Care and a helping hand are just a phone call away" * Did you know that one of our Care Managers can come to you, meet (in-home or virtually) with you and your family to answer any of your questions for a no obligation care consultation? * Did you know that you can transfer from one approved provider to another?... * Did you know that we can assist after hospital visits to get you home from hospital faster? * Did you know that we are a local 24/7 business and can offer Respite and Overnight Care? Finding the right home care provider can be a daunting task but it doesnt have to be. Especially if you have to compare numerous providers and sometimes providers term their services differently from each other. We will explain all fees involved and work with you to maximise your budget. Give Emma or Vicki a call on 9877 3773 or drop us a message about getting more from your current Home Care Package.

15.01.2022 Studies show that up to 90% of seniors desire to maintain a quality of life in familiar surroundings, such as their own home. How can you plan to ensure you are able to stay living in your own home as you age? To age well, comfortably and have a happy future, its important to incorporate your life goals. As an older person in Australia, you are faced with many choices, such as where and how to live as you age. One important consideration is what will you do when you need as...sistance. How will you identify the best home care solution for you and the best care pathway to suit your personal circumstances? It's always a good idea to involve your family or those that you are closest to in planning for your future. Make sure you've got everything covered by reviewing our guide to ageing successfully.

14.01.2022 Start the conversation! It is important to talk to your parents and loved ones about what they want for their future so you can put plans in place to uphold their wishes as they grow older. Start talking sooner rather than later e.g. when a crisis has occurred, and you may be forced to make emergency decisions. Dont leave it until its urgent! Did you know that it can take up to 18months to be allocated a HOME CARE PACKAGE?... Starting the process now with My Aged Care even if you dont think you need it is a great way to plan for the future. By starting early, you will know if you are eligible for Council Services (CHSP), a Home Care Package Program (HCP) or may need to fund privately when the time comes. If this process sounds daunting give Emma or Vicki a call in the office 9877 3773 or drop us a message and they can help guide you through the Home Care Pathway to discuss your options. You can choose your own provider, including Home Instead Senior Care. https://easternsuburbs.homeinstead.com.au . . . #tousitspersonal #HomeInstead #HomeInsteadSeniorCare #CAREGiving #seniorcare #agedcare #CAREGivers #ICARE2020 #HISCMES #youcancare #HCP #easternsuburbsmelbourne #localbusiness #helpingseniors #stayhome #stayHomeInstead #whitehorse #maroondah #manningham #bizhub

09.01.2022 Today is Fathers Day! Fathers or Father figures are special. Think back. How many footys did he kick? How many cricket balls were balled? How much running beside you did he do when you were learning to ride your bike/scooter? Then when you got older, how many things did he teach you to fix? Leaky tap? Change a tyre? Even after a long day at work, he was there every to ask how your day was. Celebrating Fathers Day is one way to show dad how much he means to you. ... While many of us are unable to celebrate in-person with our families that doesnt mean we cant celebrate in other ways. Some ideas while Physical Distancing 1. Fire up the barbie for a delicious meal. Deliver all his favourite foods to cook to his place and share or cook the same meal from your own barbies over video chat. 2. Decorate his front door/driveway. Organise a stop at your dads place, share messages or artwork in chalk. (nb. if in 5km radius) 3. Take a trip down memory lane. Take time to listen to stories and maybe create a memory book for future generations as funny stories/moments sometimes miss the opportunity to get captured. 4. Shop local for this years gift. Consider looking local and supporting a small business in the community. Perhaps something from his local café or shop. 5. Explore the outdoors together (virtually). While you might not be able to travel many places are making it easy to enjoy the great outdoors without leaving home, you can celebrate the day by doing a virtual experience together How are you celebrating your Fathers Day this year? . . . #fathersday2020 #tousitspersonal #HomeInstead #HomeInsteadSeniorCare #CAREGiving #seniorcare #agedcare #CAREGivers #ICARE2020 #HISCMES #youcancare #easternsuburbsmelbourne #localbusiness #helpingseniors #stayhome #stayHomeInstead #whitehorse #maroondah #manningham

08.01.2022 Home Instead Senior Care Melbourne Eastern Suburbs is participating in the campaign of Liptember 2020 which kicks off tomorrow. Liptember is a campaign dedicated to raising funds and awareness for women's mental health. In the past, the majority of mental health research has been focused on men, with the findings applied to women. This has resulted in a number of programs and prevention strategies that are unable to fully assist the mental health needs of the female popu...lation. The Liptember campaign hopes to change that. Funds raised during the month are donated to the Centre for Womens Mental Health, Lifeline, Batyr, The Jean Hailes Foundation, The Pretty Foundation and The Magpie Nest Women's Program. As a small family business run by women we want to encourage and inspire people to listen, share, and learn. We are fortunate enough to have an office full of women to support us, but sadly, not everyone does. We are kicking off September 1 showing off our Lippy. As this is currently hidden behind a mask, we will be showing these off in our ZOOM meetings. Show us your shade of lippy! https://www.liptember.com.au/t/homeinsteadmelbeasternsuburbs . . . #sharethelippy #LiptemberTogether #werepartoftheconversation #supportingwomen #liptember2020 #smalllocalbusiness #melbourneeasternsuburbs #stayHomeInstead #hiscmes Liptember

06.01.2022 At Home Instead, we specialise in supporting seniors to live safely and independently in their own homes. We believe that with the right care, the number of unnecessary hospital admissions can be reduced. Sometimes a hospital visit is unavoidable. When it is time to come home you may be feeling anxious about how you will manage on your own, and you may need some additional help. Here are some suggestions to help the transition from hospital to home go more smoothly... Leaving Hospital - Practical arrangements need to be made to assist you to leave the ward and transport home. How will you get home? Preparing your home - Do you need your bed linen changed? Does the house need a clean? Does the fridge need to be restocked? What groceries and other supplies will you need? Medication - Confirm what medication you need and when. Write down a name and number to call if you have problems. Write down any future medical appointments. Do you need someone to collect your medication? Do you want someone to accompany you back for future appointments? If you or someone you know is being discharged from hospital, we can assist with our HOSPITAL to HOME service where we can help with these practicalities to ensure a smooth transition. Our CAREGivers can manage all of this for you and prepare your home for your return. Give Emma or Vicki a call on 9877 3773 or drop us a message about our HOSPITAL to HOME Service and how we can help. Home Instead Senior Care have implemented a host of safety measures to ensure that our dedicated CAREGivers and CARE MANAGERS can continue to provide you with the daily assistance and care that you seek. https://easternsuburbs.homeinstead.com.au . . . #tousitspersonal #HomeInstead #HomeInsteadSeniorCare #CAREGiving #seniorcare #agedcare #CAREGivers #ICARE2020 #HISCMES #youcancare #HCP #easternsuburbsmelbourne #localbusiness #helpingseniors #stayhome #stayHomeInstead #whitehorse #maroondah #manningham

03.01.2022 Dying to Know Day is tomorrow (8th of August) and encourages conversations and community actions around death, dying and bereavement. Despite the COVID-19 restrictions this year, conversations about death with family members are still encouraged, to raise awareness about end-of-life preferences and options. Dying to Know Day is an opportunity for families to have discussions about who will make decisions if a loved one was too un-well to choose for themselves. It also challe...nges people to communicate what quality of life means to them Approximately 50% of Australians will be too sick to make their end of life choices, and 1/3 of people will pass away before reaching 75 years old. 75% of people have also not had end-of-life discussions with loved ones.* Alarmingly, less than 15% of Australians have documented their preferences in an Advance Care Directive.** Here are Five simple steps to plan ahead and take the burden off your loved ones; 1. Communicate your wishes to family members 2. Dont assume you can age without a plan 3. Planning ahead is important for young people too 4. Assign a trustworthy decision-maker 5. Your doctor wont necessarily know the best treatment for you without a plan For further information on how we can support and assist you give Emma or Vicki a call in the office on 9877 3773. We also have a great resource book called Dying at Home: a guide to support people, families and carers plan for end of life at home.
