25.01.2022 Are you concerned about a loved one in residential care? With more than 80 reports of infections now linked to residential care, many families with relatives in residential aged care homes are becoming increasingly concerned over health risks at the facilities. So, what happens if you decide you want to remove a resident from residential aged care? What are your rights? You can use a new scheme called emergency leave which is now available for permanent aged care residents.... If you take "emergency leave", both you and the government will continue to pay the standard fees, charges and subsidies to the aged care provider, whilst they hold a place for you. Other leave options include social leave and hospital leave. No matter which option you prefer, Prestige Inhome Care have flexible support and nursing options to care for your loved one from the comfort of their own home, should you wish to place them on leave from their residential facility. Call our Care Specialist team on 1300 10 30 10 to find out more. https://www.smh.com.au//you-can-take-a-break-from-resident

18.01.2022 With the recent escalation of COVID-19 cases in Victoria, the government last week resolved to reinstate Stay at Home restrictions in metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire for a period of six weeks. The Victorian Chief Health Officer recommends that adults living in areas under Stage 3 restrictions wear a face mask when outside your home if it is difficult to keep 1.5 metres apart from other people. However, if you dont wear or handle your mask properly, it wont protect you or others around you. This handy infographic created by the World Health Organization contains some very helpful tips on how to safely wear your mask.
