There are many challenges that our seniors face on a daily basis, just to remain
safe and independent when living at home.
safe and independent when living at home.
The ageing population in Australia (At 30 June 2020, approximately 4.2 million people, or 16% of Australia’s total population, were aged 65 and over), as well as increased funding for help at home, has resulted in a shift in the living preferences for older Australians.
No longer are our seniors moving to aged care facilities as soon as they lose the
ability to complete basic daily tasks; instead, they are choosing to remain living
at home for as long as possible under the help and support of My Aged Care’s
funding streams: Home Care Package (HCP) and Commonwealth Home Support
Program (CHSP) scheme’s.

Samantha, a Care Manager and Registered Nurse at Right at Home Greater
Logan, shares her expert advice on how to achieve this goal effectively and
safely: “As a Care Manager, it is my responsibility to provide guidance and assistance to
people to help them remain living at home for as long as possible.
The following are some tips I have picked up along the way to make sure this happens:
1. Regular health monitoring and coordination with healthcare providers
ensure that any changes in health status are promptly addressed. This proactive approach can prevent minor issues from becoming major
concerns.

concerns.
2. A balanced diet and regular exercise are vital for maintaining health and
mobility. Simple exercise routines, tailored to the individual’s abilities, and
a focus on nutritious meals can make a substantial impact.
3. Regular safety assessments are crucial in identifying and mitigating
potential hazards within the home. Simple steps such as ensuring
adequate lighting, removing tripping hazards, and installing smoke
detectors can make a significant difference.
4. Providing support and resources for family caregivers is equally important.
Preventing caregiver burnout ensures that loved ones receive consistent,
high-quality care. Access to respite care and support groups can make a
big difference.
5. Assistance with daily activities such as grooming, meal preparation, and
medication reminders can help people maintain their independence.
Caregivers from Right at Home are trained to provide compassionate
support tailored to each individual’s needs.
