TV and radio personality Bianca Dye is on a journey to get home care support for her beloved mum, Annie.
She has enlisted the assistance of Aged Care Decisions’ FREE provider matching and comparison service to make sure her mum gets the help she needs to stay living independently and happily in her home.
“I know mum needs some in-care help and I feel a bit guilty because I can’t be there for her as much as I’d like to be,” she says. “A lot of people my age are still working, and we can’t always be there for our mums and dads.”
The Australian Government is spending an extra $4.3 billion dollars to improve access to subsidised home care services for seniors. There will be an additional 24,100 Home Care Packages funded by the 2024-25 Federal Budget, to help people like Bianca and Annie.
Better support for seniors is a high priority for both the government and Australian families.
“I worry about mum because she’s at home alone, and I just worry what she’s getting up to,” Bianca says.
“Has she fallen over again? Has she set the house on fire? It’s a strange feeling because we’ve come full circle and now it’s my turn to help her, we are on this journey together.”
“I had no idea that we were even eligible for a Home Care Package and this kind of assistance. I get anxiety trying to organise this kind of stuff, so Aged Care Decisions’ service has been exactly the help I’ve needed.
