Staying in Place

We, at the CRC, have decided to implement the Pingelly model of Aged Care, which has been created to specifically suit the issues that remote areas, like Boddington, face. We hire local workers to deliver support to local elderly people to help them stay in their own home for as long as possible. It also ensures that funding goes back into the town by keeping most of the money local.
The initial funding comes from the Australian government, through a service called Home Care Packages. You can apply to have an assessment to access one of these packages by calling My Aged Care or applying online. Janine, our care coordinator can help with every step, including the application process.
