Carers Link also offer exclusive dementia support through the popular Memory Support Program which aims to increase and stimulate cognitive functioning and effective working memory.

The Memory Support Program psychologist utilises in-home neurocognitive assessments to understand their clients goals, needs and challenges and then designs an individualised plan to assist them to achieve optimal wellbeing.

Throughout the entire process Carers Link offers personalised contact and case management from a dedicated Aged Care Advisor, who will not only work with the client, but also with their family to support you across the whole journey in aged care.

Carers Link Aged Care Advisor, Nolene McIntosh, said for many people being able to continue living at home is very important, and usually for many it is the best option for their wellbeing.

“As an approved Home Care Package provider, we can help you navigate through the challenging and complex aged care system, to help you understand how you can utilise your funds best to maintain your lifestyle and independence in your own home,” said Mrs McIntosh.

“Whether you have already been assessed by an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT ), advised of your Home Care Package approval, or are just at the beginning of the process, we can assist you.”
