Staying at home for seniors, without any support, can be a daunting task.
Our busy schedules don’t allow us to visit our elderly loved ones often. But with Christmas just round the corner, it’s a great time to reconnect, and check on their health and wellbeing. If you notice any changes, don’t be afraid to offer help. A little support can go a long way.
Goodwin is Canberra’s largest and longest-serving local aged care provider, helping 2,500 seniors across the capital and regional NSW. It offers subsidised care for those assessed as eligible under the federal government’s home care package schemes.
Services can include transport, domestic help, personal care, medication assistance, help with shopping, home and garden maintenance, and mobility aids among other things.
