Home Care Schofields

Home Care Services Schofields

At our Schofields-registered Home Care service, we provide our clients with holistic, compassionate support in their home. We recognize that each person is unique, and our services aim to cater specifically to the individual requirements of our clients in order that they receive the very best level of care.

Schofields is a vibrant community with a diverse range of residents, many of whom are disabled, elderly, or in recovery from illness. As home caregivers, our aim is to help these individuals maintain their independence, improve their health and wellbeing, and enjoy their lives. Through assistance with activities of daily living, medical treatment, or general support, we seek to allow our clients to stay in control and enjoy their lives.

Our Home Care services range from general home support all the way through medical specialization. They are offered by trained, compassionate staff that work alongside the client and his/her family in planning personalized care that is as unique as the people we care for.

Through home support, personal care, transport to appointments, and social outing, we assist our clients in maintaining their dignity and their connection with the community. And through our specialist services, we ensure that individuals with more complex medical and emotional needs receive the attention and care they deserve. We exist in order to provide peace of mind for families, knowing that their relatives receive the very best in care, with dignity, professionalism, and respect.

Our home care services include:

• Domestic Aid: A clean and secure home is most important for our clients’ health and well-being, especially older individuals and people with mobility disabilities. Our home assistance services help our clients with their daily home chores, such as washing, doing the laundry, washing dishes, and shopping. We aim to provide a home environment that is warm, independence-promoting, and that keeps stress at bay and maximizes quality of life.
• Personal Care: Personal care is a strong focus area in our services, where we attend to the client’s grooming, hygiene, and getting dressed. We help with bathing, toileting, dressing, and mobilization. We focus a lot on dignity and respect, and our client feels cared for and at ease but with their autonomy intact.
• Housing and Garden Care: Maintenance work in the home and garden is also difficult for individuals with limited movement, or after illness, and after surgery. We offer lawn mowing, gardening, home repair, and home cleaning services so that the home is running properly and looks attractive. Our goal is to assist our customers with living in their home for as long as possible.
• Transportation to appointments: We offer safe and dependable transportation services so that our clients can attend medical appointments, social events, and visits with friends and family members. Whether it is a doctor appointment, a trip to the local store, our transportation services enable our clients to stay active in their community and receive the medical attention they require.
• Day programs and social activities: It is a serious concern, especially with seniors or people with a disability. Our daily programs and social events are planned in such a way that our members become engaged in activities that are physically and mentally stimulating. Our programs assist in developing a sense of belonging, which decreases the possibility of depression and isolation.
• Post-Hospital Care: Most people, after discharge from hospital, require additional support in order to recover and regain their strength. Our after-hospital services offer help with personal care, medication, mobilization, and rehabilitation exercises. We also work in close coordination with medical practitioners in order to ensure a smooth discharge from hospital, allowing our clients to recover in their own environment and in their own home.
• Pet Care: Regular pet care is vital for pet owners. Ongoing pet care services that provide food for pets, take pets for a walk, and groom pets assist with ensuring that they never stop receiving the attention they need. This is especially helpful for pet owners that cannot, through illness, injury, or difficulty with movement, take care of their pets themselves.
• Case Management: Our case management services include coordination of all aspects of our client’s care. They include such things as appointment management, plan-provided services coordination, health care provider contact, and client interests advocating. Our case managers also make regular updates to the care plan in order to account for changes in client condition, preferences, or changes in the client environment.

Our short-term and respite services provide family members and primary caregivers with a much-needed rest with the assurance that their beloved is in good hands. We provide emergency and planned respite services that provide caregivers with peace of mind when their family members receive quality care.
• Palliative Care: It is committed to providing relief from symptoms and pain and comfort for the client with serious, limiting illness. Our compassionate staff provides physical, psychological, and spiritual relief, and client family members and their members enjoy dignity and comfort during their times of need.

The service gives safety and peace of mind for clients and families.
• 24-hour care: For individuals with long-term, around-the-clock care requirements, we offer our 24-hour care, with a caregiver present at all times to attend to personal, medical, and emotional needs. It is our most intensive level of care that we give to individuals with ongoing support requirements.
• Clinical Care for Health Needs: Our clinical services extend to such conditions as wound healing, diabetic management, and any other long-term conditions. Our registered nurses receive special training in order to provide clinical services so that all medical attention is catered for in the client home environment.

Home Care Funding Options

We recognize that sorting through all the funding options for home care can sometimes be bewildering. We want this to be as simple and easy as we can for you, so that you receive the funding and assistance that best suits your needs.

Government funded

There exist various government-funded home care service options that assist in funding the cost and supporting services for qualified individuals. These include Home Care Packages, and the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

Home Care Packages:

Home Care Packages is a government-funded program that is made available to support older individuals in need of assistance with daily living activities. They were funded by the Government of Australia and were created in order to provide flexibility and choice in the way services would be provided. It can be utilized in funding a variety of services, such as personal care, nursing, home assistance, transportation, and social activity.

Eligibility is established through assessment by the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT), who also determine your level of care and sanction a corresponding package level (Level 1 to Level 4). Your level decides the level of intensiveness of your care. After assessment and approval, you can nominate your home care provider to arrange services funded by your package. Our staff members are experienced in supporting people in accessing Home Care Packages and can help with navigating the application so that you can receive the support and services that you need.

NDIS

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government scheme that is funded nationally with the aim of supporting people with disabilities by providing them with money for support and services in order to help individuals achieve their individual goals. NDIS supports a wide range of care, such as personal support, assistance in daily living, transport, and therapy.

To be funded by NDIS, one must be deemed eligible, for example, having a permanent and considerable disability with a daily impact. When deemed eligible, one is assigned with an individual-focused plan that identifies services and support necessary in a way to achieve the individual goals. Being a registered provider, we work alongside NDIS participants in a way that we can customize services in their plan and provide effective care according to the needs and NDIS specifications.

Private funded

For individuals who cannot afford government-funded help or do not want to be subject to the formal application process, there is non-government-funded assistance such as private home care.

Private Home Care

Private home care is a pay-for-service option whereby individuals pay directly. It is provided for individuals with little or no government funding, as well as individuals wishing more individual, face-to-face contact. Private home care is capable of providing a wide range of services from general, personal help and home-based assistance through more specific, more advanced services, such as respite for family carers.

Private home care means that you have more control over your plan of care, in that it is not subject to the restrictions placed by government funded programs. You can plan exactly which services that you would like, and what level of care is most suited to your requirements, without the restrictions placed by funding restrictions or waiting lists. Those whose care is pressing, or would just appreciate having the added flexibility, can especially utilize private home care. We would be more than happy to help you coordinate a personalized plan that is most suited to your unique needs, while providing the same level of quality care.

What’s My Next Step?

When short-listing home care services for yourself, or for someone important in your life, the second most critical is assessing your requirements and knowing about funding available to you. Below are among the major steps that should assist in getting things underway:

• Determine Your Needs – Determine how much assistance is required. Do you need assistance with daily living skills, such as bathing, getting dressed, or meal preparation? Do you need assistance with movement, such as transportation? Enumerate the services that you need, and consider how often you need them.
• Find Out Your Funding Eligibility – When you seek government funding, there is a need to establish whether or not you are qualified for Home Care Packages or NDIS. To receive such services, you’ll be asked to be evaluated by the specific organizations. In the event that you’re not qualified, or in the event that you would prefer having a private plan, private home care is the alternative.
• Contact a Home Care Provider – With a clear idea now about what your needs entail and how your needs shall be funded, the time has come to contact a home care provider and discuss your plan. Our team is more than happy to provide information, answer your inquiries, and walk with you through the process. We can help guide through the complexities of government-funded programs, assist with paperwork, and ensure that the services that you receive are individualized according to your needs and specifications.
• Care Plan Development – Work with your chosen provider to establish a customized care plan that is most suited for your individual needs. The plan would outline what services you would need, how often, and any special needs. We would assist you in developing the care plan so that it is adaptable and sensitive to your changing needs.
• Start Your Care – Once we’ve agreed your care plan, our professional home carers will set about delivering the homecare that you require. We’ll do our best to make the whole process as easy and hassle-free as it can be, with regular visits in order to ensure that the homecare being given is effective and your requirements are being fulfilled.

Here, we consult, answer questions, and assist at all times. We want your loved one or yourself to receive the support and help necessary in order to maintain independence and improve the quality of your life in the home setting. Let us guide you through the process and provide the type of care that you should receive.
