I Know Someone Who Needs Care

Knowing when a loved one who is ageing in place needs additional care and support can be difficult to determine. Sometimes it is quite apparent, such as following an injury or sudden change, but at other times the cues may be subtle. Alterations to eating habits, signs of memory loss, changes to energy levels or difficulty in taking part in daily activities can all be signs that extra assistance could help someone live a more fulfilled and less effortful life. If you’ve noticed any changes in behaviour, increased frailty, or perhaps want to sense check some changes you are noticing in your elderly loved one, the team at Home Care Assistance Sydney City and East are ready to help.

Research shows that 80% of older Australians prefer to age in the comfort of their own home rather than an aged care facility*. We all want what is best for our ageing loved ones, and to respect their choices, so if we find ourselves having to make choices on their behalf, it can be challenging. At Home Care Assistance Sydney City and East, we exist to support you and your loved ones in observing their clear preferences to age in place.

Although preferring to stay at home, for some people, the thought of having Care workers in their home might not initially align with their sense of privacy or independence, resulting in resistance to the idea. Home Care Assistance Sydney City and East can support you with strategies to help alleviate any concerns or fears and make the transition to receiving support easier on you and your loved ones.
