When Vision Australia recently partnered with Prestige Inhome Care to manage Home Care Package clients, they were aligned in their goal: to deliver tailored support that empowers independence and enhances quality of life.
Judith’s story is a shining example of how this partnership, and the dedication of her Case Manager, Homaira has transformed a life.
My heartfelt wish is that those concerned know my gratitude and that this may provide some reassurance and encouragement to others. 
Judith shares her experience in the hope that others who are hesitant about accepting support can find comfort and confidence in her journey.
Meet Judith
Judith is an independent, educated woman who had a stimulating career in administration and coordination at a university and delivered her self-designed short course at community centres. She values learning and being around like-minded, people who enjoy stimulating discussions about the world around them.
Asking for help was never part of her nature.
But when her eyesight began to deteriorate, everything changed. “How am I going to live?“, Judith recalls asking herself as her confidence slipped and outings became rare.
Facing the Challenge
Judith accepted her condition, but the transition was daunting. She had no prior experience receiving care and no expectations of what help could look like.
“It was a knock to my sense of security,” she says. “I understand why for some people this new reality can be hard to accept.”
Starting Slow
When Judith was approved for a Home Care Package, she began with small steps – help with shopping and cleaning.“Start slow,” she advises others. “Build rapport with carers. They’re polite, respectful, and aware of your feelings.”
Over time, Judith discovered that support wasn’t about losing independence—it was about gaining a lifeline.
Today, carers not only assist with daily tasks but also accompany her on walks, coffee outings, and community activities, enriching her social life.
Support That Makes a Difference
Judith’s Home Care Package has opened doors to services and tools that keep her connected and safe:
- Technology support for her writing hobby and staying connected.
- Telelink programs to connect with others who share her experiences.
- Physiotherapy sessions and improved home lighting for safety.
- Gardening and handyman services to reduce fall risks and keep her home organized.
- Carers who assist with shopping, cleaning, medical appointments, and paperwork—and provide companionship along the way.
The Heart of Her Journey: Homaira
At the centre of Judith’s transformation is her Case Manager, Homaira. From day one, Homaira demonstrated professionalism, foresight, and genuine care.
“Homaira has been the biggest blessing I could ask for,” Judith says. “She brings out the best in her clients.”
Homaira assessed Judith’s needs, involved her in every decision, and helped her plan for the future. She ensured Judith could pursue her passions, maintain independence, and rebuild confidence.
“She gave me the belief that I can pick up my life again in a way that works for me.”
Looking Ahead With Confidence
Today, Judith feels relaxed, positive, and ready to embrace the future.“The fulfilment of my future interests now seems possible—and that means a great deal to me.”
Her journey shows the power of trust, dedication, and a care team that truly listens. For Judith, the support has been life-changing.
