Helping people live independently on their own terms as they age, Police HomeCare believes that trust, value and a planned focus on innovation are essential as it continues to evolve its holistic care services.
Offering services to the broader South Australian community, Police HomeCare, part of the Lifestyle Plus Group, provides comprehensive in-home support for both aged and disability care.
General Manager Stephen Wilkinson said a holistic approach to in-home support is a key focus of the care model and the growth strategy.
There is no denying we have an ageing population, and as people delay retirement in the cost of living crisis, we are seeing a new wave of older retirees who need additional in-home support.
"Police HomeCare is committed to delivering high quality care to boost the wellness and general health of individuals through a comprehensive service offering, including domestic support, personal care, community access, behavioural support, allied health services and complex care."
Managing Director Wayne Boden said the organisation also recognises that advancing technology is critical for the future of the aged care and disability sectors, so people can keep living independently at home.
"We are exploring cutting edge technology as part of our holistic in-home care model. Through technology there is the potential to reduce demand on our hospital system while meeting the complex needs of our My Aged Care and NDIS clients."
In addition to in-home services, Police HomeCare runs an onsite REABLE Wellness Centre at its Carrington Street headquarters, as part of its commitment to the overall health and wellbeing of the South Australian community.
