Mid Murray Support Service Update: Supporting Our Community, One Step at a Time
At Mid Murray Support Service, we're continually grateful for the support from the local community. In August, we assisted 355 clients with an incredible 2,107 hours of direct care. The dedication of our staff and volunteers made these essential services, ranging from domestic assistance and personal care to home maintenance, transport, and social support, possible.
Our team drove 19,268 kilometres, providing vital transport services, while our volunteers contributed an impressive 418.33 hours to assist in various roles. We also sold 419 meals, ensuring our clients were well-nourished and cared for.
Home Care Packages: We're Here to Help!
If you or a loved one needs support to live independently at home and has been approved for a Home Care Package (HCP), we're here to guide you. We proudly partner with Trilogy Care and can welcome new clients.
Whether you're exploring options for the first time or looking to change, our friendly team can tailor services to meet your unique needs. If you need clarification on what services you're entitled to under an HCP or the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP), please call us at 08 8569 1832 to arrange a consultation.
A Reminder of Weekend and Public Holiday Services
We want to remind all clients that CHSP and non-critical services are not carried out on weekends or public holidays. If you have any concerns about scheduling, please call 08 8569 1832 for further clarification.
