Winter brings extra challenges for an older person on a rural property to stay active and independent. Take a fresh look at home support services to get you through.
Winter can be an isolating time, as people tend to stay indoors and not leave home so often. They’re also less physically active as joints and other conditions react to the cold, and there are extra chores to manage such as keeping the house warm.
New to the Yass region and with 60 years of service in the ACT, Goodwin can tailor a home care package to suit the individual, whether it’s just a few hours a week or more.
...services are also about helping people get out and about.
- Goodwin Aged Care
Goodwin believes home care is a tool for allowing people to live the life they want, do things for themselves, and build a future. It also offers top quality clinical care.
It might be called ‘home care’ but Goodwin services are also about helping people get out and about if they are not so mobile anymore.
Goodwin offers transport to local community groups, the local game, appointments, or just to enjoy lunch at a favourite club with a Goodwin worker for company if desired.
Staff can also help with mobility aids and getting individuals out to do the weekly shopping (accompanied or on behalf).
There are several case studies on the Goodwin website, based on real life clients so readers can see what others are using home care for.
Phone the friendly team to find out more about living well at home this winter on 6175 5650 or visit goodwin.org.au.
