Namoi Care Connect promotes wellness among elderly residents living in the Narrabri Shire, through a comprehensive and holistic approach to aged care. Our services are funded through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme and are designed not just to provide assistance, but to enhance overall wellbeing, addressing physical, emotional, and social needs in a supportive manner.
Promoting physical health
Physical health is a cornerstone of our wellness strategy. By offering transportation to specialist appointments, sometimes covering distances up to 500 km round trip, we ensure that clients receive timely medical care without the added stress of organising transport. Additionally, our gentle exercise groups are specifically tailored to improve mobility, strength, and balance. These activities not only enhance physical fitness but also help prevent falls and promote independence, contributing significantly to overall health and wellness.
Enhancing emotional wellbeing
Emotional support is equally crucial for maintaining wellness. We facilitate social engagement through group activities and social outings, which provide clients with opportunities to connect with others and participate in community events. This interaction helps reduce feelings of isolation and fosters a sense of belonging. Regular phone calls and wellness checks further support emotional wellbeing by providing consistent contact and a reassuring presence, addressing any concerns and offering companionship.
Supporting practical needs
Addressing practical needs effectively also plays a vital role in promoting wellness. Our Meals on Wheels service ensures clients receive nutritious, balanced meals, supporting their health and easing the burden of meal preparation. Home maintenance and lawn mowing services help maintain a safe and comfortable living environment, reducing stress and promoting a sense of wellbeing within their homes. Additionally, our shopping assistance services allow clients to manage their errands and groceries conveniently, enhancing their independence and ensuring they have access to necessary items.
Facilitating access to additional support
For clients requiring more extensive services, we assist with My Aged Care referrals, facilitating access to additional support and resources as needed. This ensures that clients can receive a full range of services tailored to their specific needs, further promoting their overall wellness.
By integrating these diverse services, Namoi Care Connect addresses the multifaceted aspects of wellness—physical health, emotional support, practical assistance, and community engagement. Our holistic approach ensures that elderly residents living in the Narrabri Shire not only receive care, but experience a higher quality of life, characterised by greater independence, reduced stress, and enhanced overall wellbeing.
