Home is Best Delivering Community Home Care To The Burdekin Region

Home is Best is expanding into the Burdekin Region due to an identified need for additional care and support services. Following much community research and in line with the Aged Care Quality Standards, the Home is Best team identified an increase in choice of providers and supports available to community members was sought and a demand for change in how these services were delivered to clients in their homes. The Aged Care space is heavily monitored by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission to ensure providers meet the requirements of these Quality Standards. Home is Best’s expansion will enhance and support the current providers operating in the Burdekin region by increasing capacity to meet the demand for Home Care services in the region.
 
In addition to the provision of Govt Funded Aged Care Services, Home is Best has a focus on supporting Residential Aged Care residents to continue to live their best life. Moving to residential care brings with it a range of emotions for the resident and family members. One of these, is grief and loss. Grief for the loss of family connectedness, their home, pets, and social interactions with their friends. This grief and loss can impact the individual’s ability to settle into residential aged care as quickly as they would if they had the additional support of Home is Best. Residents should not feel they can’t continue to maintain the family and community connection following moving into residential care. Home is Best provides a range of services like transport and support for residents to attend family gatherings like weddings, birthdays and funerals, medical appointments, social support and outings, shopping, bill paying etc. Supporting residents to continue live their best life.
