Personal safety alarms for Seniors
How Clients with HCP or CHSP in Australia Can Get Personal Alarms
In Australia, ensuring the safety of elderly individuals receiving home care is paramount. For clients with Home Care Packages (HCP) or Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) funding, obtaining funded personal alarms is not only possible but also crucial for their well-being and peace of mind. Learn how clients can access these lifesaving devices through Bannister In Home Care, a leading provider in New South Wales.
Understanding the need for personal alarms
Personal alarms, also known as livelife alarms, falls alarms, or care alert pendants, are essential devices that allow elderly individuals to call for help in case of an emergency or if they have fallen and are unable to get up. These alarms typically come in the form of pendants, watches, or wristbands, ensuring that help is always within reach. For elderly Australians living independently or with minimal assistance, personal alarms provide an extra layer of security and enable them to maintain their independence with confidence.
Accessing personal alarms through government funding
Many clients receiving government-funded home care packages or CHSP in Australia may be eligible to receive free personal alarms as part of their care plan. These alarms are funded by the government to support the safety and well-being of elderly individuals living at home. Bannister In Home Care understands the importance of these devices and works to ensure that eligible clients can access them easily.
How Bannister can help
As a provider of home care packages in New South Wales, Bannister In Home Care offers assistance to our clients in obtaining free personal alarms through their government-funded care packages. Here's how the process works
Assessment:
Bannister's experienced care coordinators assess the needs of each client comprehensively. This assessment includes evaluating the client's mobility, medical history, and any specific risks they may face, such as falls or medical emergencies.
Care Planning:
Based on the assessment, a personalised care plan is developed for the client. If a personal alarm is deemed necessary for the client's safety and well-being, it will be included in the care plan.
Funding arrangement:
Bannister In Home Care works closely with government agencies to ensure that the cost of the personal alarm is covered by the client's HCP or CHSP funding. This means that eligible clients can receive their personal alarms at no additional cost.
Installation and Support:
Once the personal alarm is acquired, Bannister's team assists with its installation and provides comprehensive training to the client on how to use it effectively. Ongoing support is also available to address any issues or concerns that may arise.
