Swan Community Care - Community Aged Care Packages

About Swan Community Care - Community Aged Care Packages

Community Aged Care Packages are a key element in ensuring that staying at home rather than entering residential care is a real option for those older Australians who choose to do so. Community Aged Care Packages offer an integrated package of services for frail older people, providing for example, home help, laundry, shopping, assistance with meals and bathing. Packages are extremely popular as they are based on a single point of contact for people assessed as needing a range of services. To receive a package an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) must assess older people as eligible. Swan Community Care Services provides a quality service to the frail and people with disabilities who are residents in the city of swan area. Through the provision of practical assistance, encourage and enable them to maintain their independence and remain in their own homes as long as possible. Updated March 2006.
