Country Health Connect - Port Lincoln & Lower Eyre Community Health Service
Dietetics. Allied health and therapy services focus on restoring, improving or maintaining older people's independent functioning and wellbeing. This is done through providing a range of clinical interventions, expertise, care and treatment, education including techniques for self-management, technologies including telehealth technology, advice and supervision to improve people's capacity. The focus of these services is assisting older people to regain or maintain physical, functional and cognitive abilities which support them to either maintain or recover a level of independence, allowing them to remain living in the community. Non-clinical services including some diversional and preventative therapies, may be provided to clients under this service type, however, these must be complementary supports for the client and not delivered in isolation from the focus of this service delivery.
Carers Association Of Tasmania - Launceston
Talking it over - Caring for Carers.
Carers give a great deal to their caring relationships and sometimes they need extra support. Talking it over with one of our trained professionals who are all great listeners can help by offering encouragement and support, along with ideas and techniques for coping and bringing about change. We can arrange to talk in person in most areas of the state and also offer a telephone option for more remote areas.
(IMPORTANT: PLEASE NOTE *** Carers Tasmania offers out of home services to family Carers, and are currently waiting on the My Aged Care portal issues to be resolved to be allocated to the correct services. Thank you).
