Home Care Check-In Project is a pilot project in the Hunter New England area offering proactive, preventive advocacy support to older persons with complex needs and\/or higher risk of experiencing harm. This service includes face to face and phone check ins, pre-emptive intervention referrals and information provision.<\/strong><\/p>\n Our Home Care Check-in Advocates provide older people with options to maintain their independence and well-being. The service is consent driven and utilises a rights-based approach within a proactive and preventative model to ensure older people are aware of their rights and options.<\/p>\n In consultation with the older person, the service seeks to identify risks and assist with linking them to services and support.<\/p>\n The Home Care Check-in team is part of a national network of aged care advocates committed to upholding the rights of older people and ensuring that they feel empowered and respected throughout their care journey.<\/p>\n Our Home Care Check-in Advocates establish rapport through regular communication by visiting the older person \u00a0at home and connecting by phone. By understanding the circumstances that affect an older person’s well-being, we can refer them to services that can assist them to live a connected life.<\/p>\n Our goal is to increase the older persons confidence in accessing aged care and community services. We recognise every person is different; we work with the older person to suit their individual circumstances and determine the frequency of our service.<\/p>\n Our Home Care Check-in service is designed to assist older people, eligible for home-based aged care services, to maintain or improve their independence and well-being.<\/p>\n Currently the Home Care Check-in is a trial project limited to residents of the Hunter New England region of NSW.<\/p>\n Eligibility for the Home Care Check-in service depends on factors such as location, specific needs and any risk factors that may be present. Our Advocates will work with the older person to assess their needs and determine if our service is a good fit for their requirements.<\/p>\n Potential risk factors may include:<\/strong><\/p>\n We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to receive the support and care they need, and our Home Care Check-in service provides personalised and compassionate care to all eligible vulnerable older people.<\/p>\n View and download the Home Care Check-in brochure<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Talk to us on 02 9281 3600 <\/strong><\/a>or email hcci@SeniorsRightsService.org.au<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Home Care Check-in is a trial project limited to areas in the Hunter New England region of NSW and other locations in Australia.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”40″ bottom_padding=”20″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”5096″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”4\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n Our Community Network Development project increases awareness of referral pathways to advocacy services for older people.
