I would like to introduce JC Well Being. The new Ageing and Disability Service in the Mid Coast LGA.
Having experience in acute, home, and residential care, I have concluded that if our ageing population is to get, the care they deserve, more assistance is required to assist them in maintaining their independence and dignity in their own homes.
There is a gap in services between requiring help that will assist you to age well in your own home, being admitted to hospital and then being told you need placement in Residential Aged Care.
With the philosophy of “Giving back to those that gave to us”, JC Well Being offers the following services:
* Support and advice to remain in your own home,
* Check-ins / well being checks that includes companionship,
* Home to Hospital / Hospital to Home – transport to and from hospital; assistance with groceries and getting scripts filled; welfare checks (including overnight stays if required) following discharge from hospital / having surgery,
* Social Support – supporting you to stay connected with your family. This may include assisted transport to visit family and friends, 1:1 or group outings,
* Brokerage to Aged and Disability Service Providers,
* Nursing Care – including wound care and advice,
* Respite Care,
* Palliative Care,
* Planning for entry to Residential Aged Care, including advice on requirements of Residential Aged Care facilities on entry
*Assistance with documenting Advance Care Plans and
*Specializing in supporting those living with Dementia and their carers.
JC Well Being negotiates with the client the service they wish to receive and the way they want it. They genuinely assist clients to maintain their independence and dignity by guiding them in looking aft er their mind, body, and heart.
A very wise person once told me, that in life we prepare for 9 months if not longer, when we have a child, yet little is often done to put in place our wishes as we age. No matter what age you are, we can offer advice and support.
