December News

Although we are in the middle of holiday season I thought it the perfect time to circulate a newsletter from the 6 month old ‘Aged Care Assistance’.

You may have time to read it through – or you may know people who have had extra difficulty coping with all sorts of adversity at a time when the world is meant to be celebrating – and they need an alternative to consider or helpful direction.

In this newsletter you will find information on:

• The DPS Guide to Aged Care Services
• Elder Abuse Conference 2016
• Recommended resources for emotional redirection and support – websites and facebook
• Commonwealth Home Support Program registration process
• CHSP ‘Living well at Home’ guide
• More Aged Care changes – Aged Care Complaints Commissioner commences 1.1.16
• Compulsory Reporting
• Home Care Packages operational manual
• Home Care COTA education offerings summer 2016
• Advance Care Directives
• Consumer Directed Care in Home Care Packages

Business is slow but the circumstances I have been called to have found acceptable solutions which have been very rewarding for all involved.

It always excites me when I see people relaxing during times of disorder and distress.

They begin making decisions with confidence simply due to being better informed and having a source of support to refer to when questions arise.

Thank you to those within our friendship group who have referred people to contact me.

Remember I am only a phone call away – even for a simple enquiry – always happy to be of help.

As we step toward the end of 2015 and into 2016 I encourage you to pursue joy and love because these are great fortitudes to the harsher realities of everyday life.

Kind regards,

Felicity Hage
