The Carers - Home Care Service

15/10/2025

Great to get a visit from our ELDAC (End of Life Directions for Aged Care) facilitator – Jules (pictured on right with staff from The Carers) from Queensland last week to help guide us in building The Carers approach to delivering high quality palliative care support to our clients. Through support from ELDAC we have provided valuable training and support to our wonderful care staff as we prepare to deliver palliative care support in WA under Support at Home on November 1, 2025.

😊💛 Happy World Smile Day! 💛😊

A simple smile can brighten someone’s whole day – and in caring, it’s often the little things that make the biggest difference. 🌟

At The Carers, we see the power of a smile every day. Whether it’s from a client, a family member, or our wonderful staff, each smile is a reminder of kindness, connection, and joy. 💙

Let’s all share a smile today – it costs nothing but means everything!

🟡 World Hepatitis Day – 28 July 2025 🟡

Your liver matters—especially as we age. 💛

Today is World Hepatitis Day, a global reminder of how important liver health is—particularly for older Australians. Many people living with hepatitis don’t realise they have it until complications arise. Regular health checks and early detection can make a big difference.

👵👴 As a dedicated home care provider, we encourage our clients, families, and carers to:
✔️ Talk to your GP about hepatitis testing and vaccinations
✔️ Stay informed about liver-friendly diets and medications
✔️ Keep up with regular check-ups

Good health starts at home—and we’re here to support you every step of the way. 🏡💬

📍Based in Perth | Supporting our WA community with compassionate, personalised home care services.

🟣 World Elder Abuse Awareness Day – June 15 🟣

Today, we stand united with communities around the globe to raise our voices against elder abuse.

At The Carers, we believe every older adult deserves to live with dignity, respect, and safety—whether in their own home, a care facility, or the wider community.

👵🏼👴🏼 Sadly, 1 in 6 older adults experience some form of abuse each year. Many cases go unreported, especially when the abuser is someone the elder depends on for care or support.

💜 As caregivers, we are committed to:
✅ Creating safe, nurturing environments
✅ Listening to the concerns of our clients and their families
✅ Recognizing the signs of abuse and taking action
✅ Promoting respect for our elders in every interaction

Let’s build a community where older adults are valued, protected, and empowered.

📢 If you suspect abuse, speak up. Help is available.

The Carers supports the new Federal Minister for Aged Care and Seniors decision to delay the implementation of the new Aged Care Act, including the Support at Home program until; November 2025.

👉 This short delay gives everyone – including older Australians, families, carers, and providers – more time to understand the changes and get ready.

The new Act is focused on:
✅ Putting the rights of older people first
✅ Ensuring safe, quality care
✅ Supporting providers and workers with clear guidance through a Statement of Rights and Principles
Minister Rae says this pause is about getting it right – and making sure the transition is smooth and respectful.
