Aged Care Services

Our Aged Care services are designed to support older Australians with various needs, whether it’s assistance at home, help navigating the transition into residential care, or simply accessing information about available services. Aged care services range from in-home support to full-time residential care. Understanding these options can help determine what suits your current and future needs. Through our experts, find the available services needed to help you or your loved one make informed decisions about aged care.

In-home Support Services

PHG provides access to various in-home support services:

Personal Care:

Assistance with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, and grooming.

Domestic Assistance:

Help with household tasks, including cleaning, cooking, and laundry.

Home Modifications:

Support with installing safety equipment like handrails and ramps.

Nursing and Allied Health Services:

Access to healthcare professionals such as nurses, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists.

Residential Aged Care

If living at home is no longer feasible or practical for you or your loved ones, residential aged care facilities offer a more structured and supported living arrangement:

Permanent Residential Care:

Long-term care for those who need continuous support.

Respite Care:

Short-term accommodation in a residential care setting for recovery or to provide relief for caregivers.

Specialised Dementia Care:

Facilities that cater to individuals with cognitive impairments and memory-related conditions.

Short Term Support Services

Our short-term care services are intended to provide temporary assistance to older individuals who may need extra help for a limited time. We support those recovering from an illness, transitioning out of the hospital, or requiring temporary care while their regular caregiver is unavailable.

Short-term services available:

Restorative Care and Therapeutic Interventions:

Our restorative care programs are designed to improve or maintain independence, often following illness or hospital stays. This service is ideal for those who have experienced a decline in physical ability and need targeted interventions.

Our programs are tailored to help individuals achieve specific goals, such as walking unaided or managing daily tasks independently. Progress is regularly reviewed, with adjustments made to the care plan as needed.

Our therapeutic interventions include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and exercise programs depending on the particular needs of the individual.

Transition Care:

For individuals recovering from a hospital stay, offering support while transitioning back to daily life at home. Our holistic service approach offers a combination of low-intensity therapy (e.g., physiotherapy), nursing support, and personal care and aims to minimise the risk of hospital readmission.

Respite Services:

Temporary relief for caregivers, available in-home or at a residential care facility. This service is available in various settings, including in-home respite, community day programs, or residential respite care.

Payment Options and Government Subsidies:

We will assist you in completing a means-tested assessment to determine eligibility for government subsidies. Our professional staff will advise you of our various payment options, including income-tested care fees, accommodation contributions, and government funding schemes.
