Aged Care

Aged Care Employee Day is our chance to say thank you to our extraordinary care workers and behind-the-scenes office staff.

The care and support they provide to our clients is invaluable and makes a real difference in their lives each and every day.

If your loved one is needing support to continue to safely live at home or is receiving care, but their needs have since increased, it can be challenging to approach a conversation with them about accepting help at home.

The holiday season is upon us! And while many of us are excitedly making plans, there is a growing number of older Australians who are living alone and isolated from accessing the things that make their holiday season joyful.

At Prestige Inhome Care, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to spend the last stages of their life, in their own home, surrounded by the people and things they love most.

We also understand the challenges of supporting a loved one with a life-limiting illness.

Since late January 2020 more than 2,500 COVID-19 cases have been recorded in Australian Government-subsidised residential aged care facilities, causing some Australians to lose confidence in the safety of the care being provided for their loved ones in nursing homes.

As a Case Manager, Melody is responsible for ensuring her clients receive the very best of care in the comfort of their own home.

Nurses play a crucial frontline role in providing quality care and support to older Australians.

The Australian Federal Government is recognising the integral role of registered nurses in the aged care sector, with the new Aged Care Registered Nurses’ Payment.
