Remaining Independent With Home Care Services

Allied Health professionals can help to ensure that your health and wellbeing needs are optimised. By accessing BaptistCare’s Allied Health support services, you’ll improve your chances of leading a safe and independent life as well as lifting your overall quality of life.

Our Allied Health services include occupational therapy and physiotherapy assessment and intervention. These home aged care services are provided using a wellness and re-ablement approach and are especially beneficial following illness, injury or during an episode of general decline.

If you’re able to perform basic daily tasks around the house, you’re likely to feel more independent, more comfortable and safer. You’re also more likely to be able to stay in your own home longer. We can facilitate this by making modifications to your living space that make it easier to get around, care for yourself and carry out your chores.

We can assist with home modifications and provide equipment such as grab rails and hand rails, access ramps, bathroom and kitchen modifications, mobility equipment and shower chairs.

People provide home care for family members are some of the most generous and dedicated members of society. Unfortunately, they often forget to be generous to themselves, meaning they get burnt out and run down.

Our respite care services provide home carers with a chance to rest and recover.

The Short Term Care provided at our social clubs will take over the care of loved ones for hours at a time, allowing the home carer to take some time for themselves. Some of our social clubs even offer overnight respite care, a government funded home care service, and a real chance to recharge their batteries.

Carers can relax, knowing that the trained staff at BaptistCare will engage their loved ones in meaningful activities.

It can be hard to keep pace with new technology. But mastering some of the basics will provide you with a range of benefits including the ability to stay in touch with friends and family, to research topics of interest and to complete chores such as grocery shopping and banking.

Our technology services teach people how to connect to the Internet and how to use technology such as Wi-Fi, smartphones, tablets, and laptops. You can receive lessons on how to use technology to stay connected, how to connect to the Internet, and what hardware you’ll need.

Being unable to use technology can be frustrating and very limiting, especially for those with reduced mobility. With our government funded home care services, you’ll be able to connect with new devices and tap into the awesome power of the Internet.

Housework is relentless and chores like paying bills, organising belongings and maintaining a home can be exhausting, no matter what your age.

Our home care services in Sydney NSW and ACT can remove the burden of these tasks and help you to maintain the standard of living you’re used to, without the effort and free you up to do the things you really enjoy. Our housekeeping staff can assist with activities such as dusting, vacuuming, mopping, cleaning, making beds and changing sheets, laundry and ironing, paying bills, filing, and general tidying.

Don’t let housework overwhelm you or limit your ability to live independently. Our tailored services can provide just the support you need.
