Home and Community Care (HACC)
Home and Community Care (HACC) currently provides services to residents of Jurien Bay and Cervantes. HACC provides care for those who require less comprehensive care than those who require packages. HACC works with a Wellness Approach and offers a range of assistance that can enable an individual to build and maintain their existing skills, regain lost skills and learn new skills. This enables people to maintain their independence and autonomy.
The HACC Office is at Jurien Bay Health Centre and you can phone 9652 0210 for further information.
RSL Care
Level 3 Care Packages
RSL Care Home Care currently have Level 3 Care Packages available to people with high need/dementia personal care needs for residents in Cervantes, Jurien Bay and Badgingarra.
The Care Packages are designed to assist people with high personal care needs to remain in their own homes as long as possible.
Currently our Shire/area has been allocated 12 packages and only a couple of these have been taken up so there are still around 10 available. The packages offer approximately $32,000 of care services per person which equates to about 8 hours of care service per week (if used in labour Monday-Friday). However the packages provide a variety of options suited to the individual and can be used for nursing care, housework, food preparation/cooking, transport, home modification, etc. (not food or rent).
These packages would be perfect for the individual who needs a higher level of care, and if they are not taken up by people in the Shire, the packages go back into a National pool.
To apply or discuss with RSL Care, please contact Sarah, Case Manager on 9652 0492 or 0498 002 803.
