Alarms and technology aids can make life at home so much easier. You can stay connected with family and friends using social media, check in with health professionals over the phone or via remote monitoring, and install the latest personal safety aids or wear a personal alarm so you can move with confidence around your home.
The great news is that a number of these products can be funded through government-subsidised programs, such as Home Care Packages, Commonwealth Home Support Program, or Short Term Restorative Care. If you are not eligible for any of these programs or are still on the waiting list, then you can also access these products and services privately.
Your Wellbeing Manager will work with you to understand what your goals are, and they will suggest ways that technology might be able to help you stay healthy, active and living in your own home. You’re in the driver’s seat so it’s your decision what you choose to go ahead with. Once you have chosen your preferred product or service, these can be acquired through your program with the help of your Wellbeing Manager.
