Home And Community Supports
Aged Care
As we grow older, our health needs change. These changes can be gradual or come on suddenly after an accident or illness. At NWRH, we understand the challenges that come with ageing. We provide a range of services throughout Queensland to help manage your aged care requirements and maintain your independence for as long as possible.
We can assist you with registering for support through, My Aged Care. There are two main programs we work within. Through the Commonwealth Home Support Program, we provide basic home support services to assist you and your carer. We also provide help through the Home Care Package Program, which includes care for seniors with more complex needs.
