Description
Aged care services are constantly evolving which makes it difficult for most people to keep up with what is available for themselves or their loved ones. It is such a personal decision that this article has been written as an interview, giving a first-hand account of one lady’s initial aged-care experience to explain how the Home Care packages work.

“Sometimes I read these things,” Maria, a grandmother of five, told us recently, “and I think, that’s so obvious they could’ve just asked me.”
At 79 years young, Maria plays lawn bowls twice weekly, lunches with friends and regularly attends seniors’ movie nights.
