Wesley Mission is hosting free Care Finder Service drop-in sessions at MidCoast Council Libraries during June and July to help older people find quality aged care services.
The sessions can help older people to understand what aged care services are available to them, including in-home care, residential care and short-term care. Wesley Mission’s Care Finder Service can also conduct assessments, identify needs and access appropriate services for older people.
As we age, it can become harder for us to do things by ourselves. Older people may need help with daily tasks such as cleaning, cooking, shopping, social outings and looking after their health care needs.
Aged care services can help older people to be more independent, take care of their health and safety, meet their cultural needs, and stay better connected.
“MidCoast Council libraries are committed to providing the community the best services we can”, said MidCoast Council’s Manager Libraries and Community Services, Alex Mills.
“This includes connecting our older people with aged care services that can help them to better their everyday lives.”
The drop-in sessions will be held at four of the MidCoast Council Libraries. For a full list please visit Wesley Care Finder – MidCoast Libraries (nsw.gov.au)
