Right at Home
If you or someone you know is not ready to leave their home, but feels the need for some help which is commonly found at residential care facilities, then Home Care may be an option. 

What is Home Care?

Home Care can help seniors by providing part-time services such as meal preparation, housework and heath care among other services.

Firstly the individual needs to be assessed by an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) to determine what extent of Home Care is needed. It is most likely that this assessment will be free.

This assessment will determine the level of Home Care Package required, depending on care needs.

Home care services can include:

  • Allied health care
  • Registered nurse care
  • Transport to appointments
  • Personal care
  • Assistance with enteral feeding and/or oxygen
  • Social support
  • Laundry and cleaning
  • personal hygiene
  • dressing
  • transport
  • social activities and/or gardening
  • food preparation
  • medication

A Stitch in Time for Jessie

on Friday, July 26, 2024

Mrs Jessie Ratledge (85) of Mount Barker has created almost 80 Victorian-era dresses, undergarments, and bonnets, which take up an entire room in her home – and she shows no signs of stopping.

‘I’ve always loved Victorian clothing,’ Jessie says. ‘Growing up in Scotland, my mum had these massive books, and I used to pore over them, and look at all the pictures of the Royals.’

‘I would never have been interested in Victorian clothing back in Scotland, because people would look at those clothes and say, “Don’t be silly, you can’t make that, that’s just a waste of money,” so, I’ve got Australia to thank for my sewing.’
