The Australian Government pays for the bulk of aged care services in Australia through subsidies paid to aged care providers. You may be asked to contribute costs if you are financially able to do so, however there is help available if you are unable to pay for care and accommodation costs.
Home Care (also known as in-home care, community care, home help, home support and in-home nursing care) is the umbrella term for a range of services that allow people to remain living independently in their own homes. Many elderly Australian’s take advantage of these services as an alternative to moving into traditional residential aged care homes.
Residential Aged Care is the proper term for aged care homes which are sometimes referred to as aged care facilities or nursing homes. Residential aged care homes provide 24-hour care by trained nursing staff for frail elderly people who can no longer live independently in their own homes.
A Home Care Package is a coordinated and flexible package that allows individuals to remain living in the comfort of their own homes. Each Home Care Package is tailored in order to cater for a variety of care needs.

A lot of people struggle with the decision to place a loved one in aged care, they often ask when is the right time? Whilst there is no easy time to place a loved one in aged care, many people reach the right time when they realise they can no longer practically provide care for their loved one by themselves.
There are three aged care options in Australia which tend to suit most people’s care needs, from home care, respite care and residential aged care.
Respite Care is short term aged care, and often used when families, carers and friends need a break from caring for a frail, elderly person. It can also be used if an elderly person needs to recover from a stay in hospital and cannot return home immediately.

Fronditha Care would like to thank our nursing heroes on this International Nurses Day. This year International Nurses Day comes with special significance. COVID19 has rightfully shone a light to the important work of nurses across the healthcare system.
Today is International Nurses Day, an opportunity to celebrate and acknowledge the enormous contribution nurses and other healthcare workers make to Catholic Healthcare and our communities each and every day. Catholic Healthcare thank nurses for their professionalism, dedication and kindness in caring for residents, clients and patients, particularly during this current time.
Marking International Nurses Day is always important but this year it takes on a whole new meaning. Nurses around the world will be recognised for their incredible dedication; their professionalism; and their enormous personal sacrifice for the good of us all. To say thank you and show their appreciation The Residents at The Royce and Royce Manor spent Monday this week cooking up a storm, baking and icing cookies that were hand-delivered to Nepean Hospital just in time for morning tea.
