Community Care Packages
Mon, Dec 14 2009 03:17
| In Home Care
(incorporating - Community Aged Care Packages, Extended Aged Care at Home Packages, Veterans Home Care and Private Services)
Over the last few months the Community Care Team has been busy in ensuring that quality services have been provided to all our clients, with Post Care Worker audits regularly being conducted and a Client Focus Group organised on the 18th September 2009. The Client Focus Group was held at the new Padre Pio Centre at Renown Park, with over 40 clients attending. The afternoon gave IBF an opportunity to ask clients their views in relation to their Rights and Responsibilities, as well as obtain responses from clients re their understanding of having an advocate represent them and the various Advocacy Services available to them.
At the end of July 2009 IBF obtained funding for a further 10 Community Aged Care Packages and 5 Extended Aged Care Packages for the Port Adelaide/Enfield Inner North/Inner East region. These packages commenced in September and with the number of people requiring assistance to remain living at home, were filled in record time.
At the same time, IBF was also successful in obtaining funding for a new service, being 10 Extended Aged Care Packages for the Aboriginal community. These packages will provide assistance to Aboriginal persons who reside throughout the metropolitan regions and Sandy Krake (Team Leader Northern Region) will be coordinating these packages.
Over the last couple of months two of the Community Care Team were nominated for Staff Member of the Month - Antonietta DiNiro (Team Leader Eastern Region) and Sandy Krake (Team Leader Northern Region). Both of these team members were nominated due to their tireless and creative efforts in ensuring that extra supports were put into place so that a client could return home - both of these staff members went above and beyond to ensure that the client and the family's needs were met.
On behalf of IBF I would like to welcome all of our newly recruited staff members, who have joined the Community Care Team over the last three months, they are - Kristina Cameron-Huffa, Karen Davidson-Parish, Silvana Devarti, Maria Fratamico, Laelle Knibbs, Libby Konieck, Silvana Moscatiello, Pina Palmieri, Rosa Rapetti, Maria Ruotolo and Lisa Sammut. We take this opportunity in wishing them all the best in their new career.
