Our lifestyle support helps our aged clients to live better
Assistance to our aged clients is varied and comprehensive, evolving to meet their needs as they progress through their lives.
Social Support Individual has great flexibility to suit each client. This may be a friendly visit from one of our volunteers, or a walk to a local park to maintain mobility. Our service looks at companionship and always aims to have volunteers or staff to be the best match so you feel connected in your community.
We assist in any number of ways with meals, at whatever level of care is preferred. We can arrange the purchase of groceries from a standard meal provision organisation, either fresh or frozen, and cook them for our client if desired. When our client prefers to eat out, we accompany them to their local club or cafe for lunch or dinner.
Home Care Packages allow for a more complete range of services, from non-capital modifications to support the client’s level of physical and mental ability as they age. Within the package, we can arrange beds with full lifts, or lifting chairs. Clients with macular degeneration may benefit from a large flat screen TV.
We plan with you, not for you
Our nearly five decades of care experience makes us familiar with the most cost-effective ways of raising the everyday domestic living standards of our clients. Our lifestyle support can be as little as a couple of hours a week, growing to a higher level of support when required. But whatever the support, Better Connected Community Services is all about client choice and collaboration.
