Resthaven Community Services - Riverland
Resthaven supports those who are at risk of homelessness or unable to receive the aged care supports they need as a result of hoarding behaviours or circumstances, or difficulty keeping their living environment safe and clean. Our team is sensitive to the person’s needs and take the time needed to build rapport and trust.
Hoarding can be associated with health risks and can impact on a person’s friends and family. It can also place the person’s housing at risk if they are living in an environment that is unclean. Assistance with Care and Housing - Hoarding and Squalor services may include:
• developing a plan with the person
• one-off clean-ups
• reviewing care plans
• linking clients to specialist support services.
