In-home and Community Support
In-Home and Community Support Services operates on a fee for service basis to help the organisation to top up the gaps in funding for Disability Services. In keeping with our philosophy of supporting people within their own homes, major areas of emphasis are the provision of respite services to families who have a child with a disability and the provision of services to older people who wish to remain in their own homes for as long as possible.
Increasingly home services are being provided to people who have been discharged from hospital to assist in their recovery. CCA is also an approved provider for the Home Care Service of New South Wales and services are provided under this arrangement on a regular basis. It is the capacity which CCA has to provide individualised services rapidly and flexibly that makes the Home and Community service unique. Services provided can include:
- Case management and needs assessments
- Personal care
- Attendant Care
- Companionship and monitoring of health and personal needs
- Housekeeping (cleaning, meal preparation, shopping)
- Respite for carers of people who are frail aged, people with a disability or those with chronic ill health
- Community access for young people with a disability
- Daily living skills training – to help increase people’s independence
These services are available directly from Community Connections Australia and are also available to funded case managers and other services wishing to contract support services under brokerage arrangements.
