Will in home care services suit you or your loved one?
In home care services are ideal for ageing people or people with disabilities that want to maintain a degree of independence, freedom, control and privacy. It allows them to stay in their beloved home and familiar surroundings while still getting the support and care they require.
However, in home support may not be suited to every individual. If a medical professional has recommended that you or your loved one moves into an aged care facility or young disability care accommodation, it is important that you adhere to the professional advice. For some people, 24-hour care and support is the best way to ensure a comfortable and safe future.
