Location
At West Wimmera Health Service it is our belief that older people should be able to live independently and safely in their own homes for as long as possible. If you want to stay in your own home as you get older, but need help with a range of services like cleaning and preparing meals, gardening, assistance with showering, or with transport so that you can go shopping or attend appointments, a Home Care Package may be for you. Home Care Packages is about helping people continue living a good life at home, provided it meets legal and safety requirements. Home Care Packages allows the client and the carer the power to manage the delivery of services required and how the funding for their package is spent with the assistance of the Case Manager.
