“It’s often the little things that make the biggest difference to someone’s quality of life,” says Kathleen, local Care Facilitator for BaptistCare at home.
Having provided quality care to older people in the Port Macquarie region for over a decade, Kathleen and her team are passionate about supporting clients to live fulfilling, independent lives at home – often facilitating small changes that go a long way.
“For us, working with local seniors is such a privilege,” says Kathleen. “We get to know each client as the valued individual that they are, listening to their story and understanding what matters most to them.”
Kathleen and the BaptistCare at home team take a holistic approach to care management, working with clients to create achievable goals for living well - physically, cognitively, and emotionally.
“At BaptistCare, we strongly believe that older people can in fact improve their health, functional ability, and quality of life as they age,” says Kathleen. “Our care services are there to empower people to do this.”
These might range from personal care, housekeeping, and installation of home modifications to support with meal preparation, grocery shopping, or even technology lessons.
“We also support seniors to engage in meaningful activities and hobbies, which provide mental stimulation as well as a chance to connect with others socially,” says Kathleen.
“We know it can be difficult to ask for help – especially if you’ve been independent your whole life. Our team are here to work with you and help you to live your best possible life at home - whatever that looks like for you.”
