Rising costs are on a lot of minds right now, and when it comes to home care, understanding what you're paying for (and what support is available) can feel like its own challenge.

You're not expected to work it out alone.

Our Care Managers can walk you through your funding options and help you understand what fits your circumstances, so you can make choices with confidence rather than guesswork.

A fall doesn't just hurt the body; it hurts your confidence. To get that confidence back, Meghan uses the concept of "expanding safety loops". By strategically practising the movements that make you feel unsteady, she helps retrain your brain and body to feel safe again. It’s about small targets and big progress.

The perfect pair for your independence! 🤝

An Occupational Therapist might prescribe a riser chair to make standing easier, but a physiotherapist provides the exercises to give your body the strength to stand up on its own. When these services go hand-in-hand, you get the best of both worlds: a supportive home and a capable body.

Would you know what changes to look out for?

Memory changes are often what we associate with dementia, but there can be other signs too – from difficulty completing familiar tasks to changes in mood and behaviour.

Recognising that something has changed can be the first step towards finding answers.

The earlier you know, the more you can do.

Navigating the aged care system can feel overwhelming for families across Geelong, the Bellarine, and the Surf Coast.

To help you feel confident, here is a simple breakdown of how the assessment process works:
Step 1: Contact My Aged Care — Apply online at myagedcare.gov.au, call 1800 200 422, or ask your GP to submit a referral.
Step 2: Initial Screening — Speak with My Aged Care to discuss your current support needs, clinical or non-clinical requirements, and care urgency.
Step 3: In-Home Assessment — A free 1 to 2-hour assessment in your home explores your goals, medical history, and preferences to recommend tailored support.
Step 4: Assessment Outcome — Once notified of your eligibility and assigned funding, you choose a trusted local provider to manage your care.
You don't have to navigate the process alone. Our local team is always here to guide you and your family through every step.

Physios are not here to just "put cushions around you" as you slow down. They’re here to reverse it! Reablement is all about regaining your capacity for daily living, showering, gardening, and moving with ease. It’s about keeping you independent in the home you love for as long as possible.
