The Right Conversations

Getting older doesn’t mean giving up independence — but it does mean planning ahead.

In Australia, it can take up to 12 months to access funded Home Care support through the government. That’s why it’s so important to notice the early signs that a loved one may benefit from help at home — and to start the conversation before there’s a fall, burnout, or emergency hospital admission.

Family caregiving can present enormous challenges for individuals caring for elderly relatives. RightConversations™ is Right at Home’s foremost guide for families offering realistic tips and ideas for effective communication about family caregiving. Being a family caregiver is honourable and one of the most meaningful periods in your life. Effective communication can greatly enhance this experience.  

As we begin another year, cast your thoughts to your ageing loved ones. How are they doing? Are they still able to drive safely, dress properly, prepare meals without accidentally leaving appliances on? How is their general mobility? Do they look like they are in pain? 

It’s the beginning of another year, and for those of us with ageing loved ones or loved ones living with a disability, it can be a time when tough decisions need to be considered. Right at Home Australia, a premiere home care provider, is experienced in easing these conversations and paving the way for improving the quality of life and to maintain independence for your loved ones.

We understand that this past holiday season has been abnormal. Australian families may or may not have been able to travel to spend time with loved ones due to the Coronavirus pandemic. But whether you were able to see your ageing loved ones, or not, they still need our attention.

Ageing Successfully.
