Staying at home for longer

This week the Alphington CWA is joining forces with Latrobe Community Health Services to run a session exploring how to access help through My Aged Care.

This is the program that gives older people the flexibility to stay at home for longer through government funded help services.  

The information session is right here at ACC on Wednesday 10 August at 7.30pm. No need to book, just come along if you are interested.

The session will look at:

• What is My Aged Care

• ·How can My Aged Care help you stay at home for longer

• Eligibility Criteria for getting help

• Registering with My Aged Care

• Details on accessing services under the Commonwealth Home Support Program

• What’s included in a Home Care Package and what to look for in a provider

• Other available services for older persons.

It will run for about 40-50 minutes depending on the number of questions. 

Latrobe Community Health Service is a not for profit organisation committed to taking care of the vulnerable members of our communities with 47 offices across Victoria.
