Aged care and disability support
Longreach Home and Community Care Inc. recognises that services provided to the elderly and people with a disability must be person-centred, and built towards the person’s independence rather than fostering dependence on the service provider.
Our aged care and disability services have been designed to make life easier for clients, their carers and to ensure staying at home is enjoyable and safe without sacrificing privacy.
We promote individual choice and support the maintenance of the family unit and chosen lifestyle through the development of (in consultation with the client), a care plan which is tailored and reviewed regularly to ensure the highest quality and effective care is received.
Our friendly, professional team of long serving staff take pride in fostering nurturing relationships that enhance the functional capacity and social and emotional wellbeing of our clients.
