Glasshouse Country Care is now supporting clients under the newly launched Support at Home program, which replaced Home Care Packages on 1 November, the biggest change in aged care services in more than a decade.
Support at Home, introduced following recommendations from the Royal Commission into Aged Care, is designed to give people more choice and control over the care they receive, helping them to maintain independence, wellbeing, and quality of life. “While the system has changed, our priority remains the same – ensuring our clients continue to receive high-quality support in their own homes” said General Manager Clare Mullins.
Under the new program, clients have access to a wide range of services tailored to their individual needs including personal care, domestic assistance, transport, social support, respite, allied health services, and home modifications.
“Our staff have been working closely with clients and their families to provide personalised advice, answer questions, and ensure a smooth transition into the new program” Clare said. “We will continue to provide compassionate, reliable, and professional care, helping people remain independent and connected with their community.”
