As we get older, living independently in our own home can become more difficult. If you’ve been finding it harder to do the things that you used to, you can ask for some help. Getting some help with your daily activities means you can stay independent at your home for as long as possible. In fact, a little support could lead to a much better life.
Have you been thinking about getting some help with day-to-day tasks around the house? Perhaps you need some respite care while your family carer is away? There are many services that can help you maintain a good quality of life as you get older. VMCH can help you access the right aged care Melbourne providers and more.
About My Aged Care
If you’re just beginning your aged care journey, this is your first step. At VMCH, information and support are available to help people of all backgrounds and situations access the help they need.
Help at home may mean getting help with shopping, cooking and personal care. Or it could mean having some modifications made to improve your safety in and around your home. Whatever it is that you need, VMCH is here to support your health, wellbeing and independence.
The Australian Government subsidies various different types of aged care services Melbourne wide and across A and you may be eligible for government support. Your eligibility must be determined by the Aged Care Assessment Service (ACAS), which is free and the consultation conducted in your home by experienced professionals. One of our friendly staff members would be more than happy to take you through the range of options available to suit your specific needs.
Support for Carers
Being a carer can be both rewarding and overwhelming. Regardless of the circumstances, it has a significant impact on your life and requires strength and commitment. Recognising the importance of supporting the carers in our community, VMCH also offers a range of carer support services. These include peer support, personal care, case management, special events and carer wellbeing activities as well as education. In certain regions across Melbourne, VMCH is funded to deliver tailored carer support solutions. Explore what’s available to you on our website or contact us to find out more.
