✨ HOME MODIFICATIONS ✨

A reminder for aged care recipients receiving in-home care as part of the Home Care Package program, that you can make home modifications to support your ageing. My Aged Care offers funding assistance for changes to your home that help you live safely and independently.

Modifications to your home should always reflect your assessed needs. For example, if you’re concerned about falling, you might consider installing grab rails in your shower.

Here are some common household modifications that can improve your safety and independence:

🎄Grab rails – prevents falls in the shower, bath, or toilet

🎄Ramps – ensures easy wheelchair access

🎄Easy-access taps – helps if you have arthritis or a weakened grip

🎄Accessible cooking appliances – provides assistance for those with mobility challenges

🎄Long-handled gardening tools – enhances safety while gardening

🎄Step modifications – ensures safer movement around your home

🎄Handrails – improves safety on stairs

🎄Adapted cutlery – assists those with weak grips or tremors while eating

If you’re unsure about the types of modifications you need, please reach out to me so I can arrange a referral for an in-home assessment to recommend modifications tailored to your circumstances.

I’m here to help and look forward to hearing from you.

Much love to all,

Judith 💜

✅ Stick to familiar routines and environments.
✅ Create a quiet space for those who may need a break from the hustle and bustle.
✅ Encourage family and friends to share the caring role.
✅ Find ways to make people with dementia feel valued – like asking them to help with a task.
✅ Seek support if needed - The National Dementia Helpline (1800 100 500) is always there.

“As soon as I got the diagnosis, I called the National Dementia Helpline. I was really impressed with how the Helpline Advisors explained things and the immense amount of information that I could see would be available to me.

“It’s not just a one-stop-shop it’s a pathway.”

Becky, who lives with dementia, said that the National Dementia Helpline helped provide her with support and guidance when she first learned of her diagnosis.

The National Dementia Helpline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year – even public holidays!

The festive season can be extra challenging for people living with dementia and their families, but we are here for you.

There is no question too big or small and no time too late to call the National Dementia Helpline on 1800 100 500. Or use our 24-hour live chat at https://www.dementia.org.au/get-support/national-dementia-helpline/helpline-live-chat

Home care has gained popularity in recent years, with Home Care Packages and the CHSP (Commonwealth Home Support Program) enabling older Australians to age in the homes they love. Home caring offers many benefits, such as:

✨ Personalised Care - Home caring ensures individualised support tailored to each person’s unique needs, ensuring a more personalised and attentive approach.

✨ Independence and dignity - Remaining in their own homes allows seniors to maintain their independence, dignity, and sense of autonomy, which are vital for emotional wellbeing and a high quality of life.

✨ Familiar Environment - Home caring enables individuals to stay in familiar surroundings, reducing the stress and anxiety associated with moving to a new living environment.

✨ Enhanced lifestyle - With the support of home care services, seniors can enjoy an improved lifestyle by receiving the help they need to engage in daily activities and maintain social connections.

✨ Cost-effectiveness - In many cases, home care can be a more cost-effective option than institutional care settings, as it eliminates the expenses associated with room and board.

If you have questions about what the best option is for yourself or for someone that you care for, don’t hestitate to get in touch with me.

There’s a lot of information available, so let me help you process it and work out the best option to suit your, or your loved one’s needs ♥️
