Miranda Smith Homecare is looking forward to continuing relationships and establishing new ones following a busy festive season, and urges people to start thinking about their twilight years heading into 2012.
The holiday season was a busy one, and our special deals including free, no obligation initial home visits and free daily check-up phone calls to clients were popular.
Our on-call carers were busy with respite care and covering for families who were on holiday and wanted peace of mind while away from their elderly family members.
Looking ahead, Miranda Smith Homecare continues to urge leading stakeholders in the aged care industry to find efficiencies and use technology to ensure elderly can be easily monitored, quickly diagnosed and remain as healthy and independent as possible.
Strategies to encourage family support are needed, and with a rapidly expanding elderly population, it’s a reality that government spending in the sector is not likely to keep up.
Those affected need to start thinking about taking responsibility and making arrangements to ensure they – or their elderly relatives – are as content as possible when the time comes to move towards some form of assisted living.
All the best for the year ahead.
