Community Care Packages

Community Care provide care for clients in their own homes. This is an important component of our care service, as it keeps the client in their familiar environment for longer.

 In September 2001, 20 Community Aged Care Packages were established at Storm Retirement Village. This has grown to a total of 32 clients receiving care each day.

Community Aged Care Packages are a Commonwealth Funded Program where recipients are cared for in their own homes, with an individually tailored level of care.

An assessment is required by Aged Care Services before care can commence.

The services available are:

• Personal Care including Showering and dressing
• Medication Supervision
• Meal Preparation
• Light housework including laundering
• Shopping
• Transport to appointments
• Assistance or organisation of light home maintenance

We provide twice monthly social activities such as bus trips. We can also arrange and day care activities.
