If you are looking for a Home Care Package provider, you will want to find an organisation you can trust to give you value for money so that you get the best out of your support at home funds to enable you to maintain your quality of life as you get older.
Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health’s Home Care Package team can help you coordinate your services. With their local knowledge and connections they offer choice and flexibility with how you use your Home Care Package and have access to a range of service providers offering supports such as personal care, nursing, gardening, meal preparation and escorted transport. They can also connect
you to Sunbury and Cobaw’s own services such as podiatry, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, exercise classes and social activity groups.
The Australian Government’s Home Care Package program provides eligible people over the age of 65 years (or over 50 if you are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander) with personalised support to enable you to continue living independently and comfortably in your own home and connected to your community.
“We take the time to get to know you and understand the type of services that are important to you, and help you decide who will deliver those supports,” says Michelle Franceschi, who leads the Home Care Package team at Sunbury and Cobaw.
“We tailor the services to meet your needs and your goals.”
Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health is an approved Home Care Package provider under the Aged Care Quality Standards and has been part of the Macedon Ranges and Sunbury communities for nearly 50 years.
