Do you see your ageing parent having trouble keeping up with little duties such as meals, cleaning, or remembering medications? Are you concerned that they are getting too secluded, yet they are not willing to take residential care?
Home care allows older Australians to be in charge of their day-to-day life and offers professional assistance that feels like home. At Circle of Hope, we will focus our care on what gives individuals meaning in life: comfort, dignity and stability. Here, we make practical suggestions that allow a family to make informed decisions with proper support but without intervention.
Home Care Eligibility Criteria
To receive a home care package, an individuals must be Australian resident, should be of 65 years of age or more (or 50 years and more in case of Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders), and at the same time, they should need some degree of help with their daily activities (e.g., hygiene, mobility, etc.). The Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) conducts an assessment to determine whether a person qualifies to receive care, and the degree of need relative to the type of care package that best suits their health, lifestyle and the degree of independence.
Home Care Services We Offer
The best part about our services is the tailoring, not only to the person, but also based on what their body requires, how the person lives, what they think, and what their routine is.
At Circle of Hope, we do not provide generic care; we co-design it with the individuals we support, and we tailor every aspect of passing time to make sure that comfort, trust, and familiarity are never sacrificed. As we go on, we will change and evolve alongside you, and ensure that your care is personal, responsive, and tailor-made to fit your life at home.
