Service Offerings

Aged Care Support

We can explain how to get support as you age, the services available to you and how to access them.

There are services available for cleaners, gardeners, house modifications. equipment, exercising and meal delivery.

Aged Care Package Planning

This is a complicated area that is not always explained well.

We break it down into simple terms, give you the details of how to access the system and show you where to get the services you want.

If you wish to learn how to self-manage your package, hire your own staff and access more supports to stay home longer, then we are also able to do that.

Care Coordination

Being a carer is hard and so we specialise in caring for the carer.

We can help you to schedule time for your self-care which is vital at this time.

We can help you access extra supports to give everyone involved time to decompress.

A study done in 2017 shows that it takes 14 people to help someone stay home to die. We can show you how to build that village of support around you.

Advocacy Services

We specialise in asking you what you want to do, then set about delivering on that.

A doula is completely non-medical and modern medicine is amazing. We could not do what we do without them being actively involved, however it is never a one-size fits all answer.

If you are having issues stating what you want, or even defining what you want then we are here for you.

We love the awkward questions so are happy to answer them for you.

We have supported clients to access Voluntary Assisted Dying and will always advocate for a persons right to choose.

After Death Care

We actively encourage people to keep their person home after death. In NSW it is legal to do this for 5 days.

You can vigil with them, wash them, dress them, talk, sing, pray, chant, or have a drink. Many cultures around the world practice this and it is only western culture that has moved away from this in the last 100 years or so.

Having a traditional funeral actually means doing this at home, keeping your person home, preparing food, building a coffin, engaging in ritualistic practices relevant to your religious or spiritual beliefs.

This is a sacred and beautiful time and we can assist you with the practicalities such as a cold plate hire or coffin specifications.

Funeral Director

We are able to be your funeral director, or alternately work with the company of your choice.

You have control over how this looks and you have options in regards to budget.

Planning now may feel overwhelming however it is much better to do this slowly, over time, without a crisis approach.

When emotions are frayed and everyone is tired, snap decisions get made. This can lead to regrets later.

Take the time right now to make informed choices and decisions about your wishes. This will make the end result so much better for everyone involved.
