Have you ever considered a career in home care? With 20 per cent of the population expected to be aged over 65 within the decade, and 76 per cent of Australians aged over 60 preferring to retire in the comfort of their own home, there’s a greater demand than ever for home care workers.
Program Manager Jasmine explains the types of support Prestige provides to people with a disability.
As a registered National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provider, Prestige Inhome Care can support people who are living with a disability, in building or maintaining their independence within their own homes and communities.
At Prestige Inhome Care, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to spend the last stages of their life, in their own home, surrounded by the people and things they love most.
We also understand the challenges of supporting a loved one with a life-limiting illness.
Since late January 2020 more than 2,500 COVID-19 cases have been recorded in Australian Government-subsidised residential aged care facilities, causing some Australians to lose confidence in the safety of the care being provided for their loved ones in nursing homes.
Every day we aspire to find the joy, even when we’re not physically together.
To celebrate the little things that have made our extended time at home so much brighter, we asked our Prestige family to share their pets and plants with us and tell us how they’ve brought joy – something that’s so important for our health and wellbeing – to their time in lockdown.
At 17 years of age Junith started working in the aged care industry cooking meals for the elderly and people living with a disability. A trained pastry chef, she was a passionate baker with a special love for making Christmas cakes. But today, at the age of 74, when asked what she loves about being a care worker Junith says “it’s not about the money. It’s the companionship.”
If your loved one is in need of support, or is already receiving care but their needs have changed, it can be challenging to approach that conversation with them. You may find your ageing parent doesn’t want to acknowledge that they actually need any assistance or are worried that they will lose their independence.
Prestige is proud to announce that our new office in Northern Sydney was officially opened on Wednesday, 2 June.
The launch event was attended by many Prestige team members and clients’ family members. We also welcomed distinguished guests Ms Jilly Gibson, mayor of North Sydney and Ms Felicity Wilson, Member of Parliament for North Shore who did the honours at our ribbon cutting ceremony.
We recently interviewed Prestige Case Manager, Christina. She explains how meaningful companionship can enrich the lives of both the carer and client.
Recent research suggests that having strong social interactions improve your wellbeing and health, and promotes longevity.
Caring for your loved one can require big decisions to be made at an emotionally charged time.
In this short video, Nick McDonald (CEO and founder of Prestige Inhome Care) and his sister, Thea McCroary (General Manager, Sales & Marketing) share their story about caring for their mum at home.
