STAYING IN PLACE
Discover how the Staying in Place program can support you or a loved one.
The Staying in Place program helps enable older residents of Dongara and surrounding areas to remain living at home and connected to family, friends, and their community for longer.
How Can We Help?
The Dongara CRC can help guide you through the process of arranging the services you need, ensuring your comfort, confidence and peace of mind.
If you are over 65 years old, or an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person over 50 years old, you may be eligible for the Australian Government's Support at Home program. Support at Home helps older Australians access services that enable them to remain safe, independent and connected to their community while living at home.
Eligibility for Support at Home services is determined through an aged care assessment arranged through My Aged Care. The assessment identifies the services and supports that will best help you maintain your independence, health and wellbeing at home.
We can assist you to:
Find out whether you are eligible for Support at Home funding and other aged care services designed to help you remain living independently at home
Navigate the aged care assessment process and understand the services available to meet your individual needs.
Register with an approved aged care provider when funds have been assigned. We help you every step of the way.
Arrange the services you need with quality, reputable providers, ensuring your comfort, confidence and peace of mind.
