As we gracefully mature, we naturally turn to the topic of long-term care.
While aged-care homes may be the conventional route, they can also bring worries of bidding adieu to your beloved routines, autonomy and carefully curated space. Not to mention, conventional has never been your style.
But fret not, for there’s a brighter, more enriching option available to you: in-home support services for the elderly, courtesy of Acquaint.
More than just basic support
Say goodbye to the dreary, one-size-fits-all routines and cookie-cutter care plans of those big, impersonal facilities.
With Acquaint, you’re in for a treat every day with our personalised, in-home aged care support. We don’t just stop at the basics; heavens, no!
We offer a delightful array of support services – each tailored to brighten your days and enrich your life. So you can continue enjoying Melbourne’s vibrant community. You can continue enjoying home.
Acquaint’s in-home support services
Here at Acquaint, we go above and beyond to lend a hand in all aspects of your life. And here are just some of the many ways we do that.
Personal care
Whether you need a hand with bathing, dressing, grooming or finding the perfect pop of colour in your outfit, our compassionate carers are here to ensure you feel like the star you are.
Which means we wouldn’t dream of impacting your dignity and independence. We’re all about pampering – not pestering, for goodness’ sake – when it comes to personal care.
Companionship and social interaction
With each passing year, we gather more stories to share. This is why keeping social is simply essential – for all those around you who could undoubtedly learn a thing or two from your life experience.
Including our carers, who not only provide companionship through engaged conversation and shared opinions of the latest houses' architecture on Grand Designs, but also facilitate your much-appreciated presence at the many social activities on your calendar.
Homemaking and errands
From whipping you up a fresh batch of scones to ensuring your bedsheets are evenly hung on the outside clothesline for the sun's peak, we’ll offer you the highest level of home care assistance. So you can focus on enjoying your day.
And yes, of course, that includes the garden. How else would you be able to stop and smell the roses?
Medical support
Your health and happiness is our priority. So naturally, we know just how crucial it is to stay on top of your medical needs. Your long list of social obligations requires a certain level of physical wellness, after all.
That’s why we’re here to assist you with medication reminders, doctor appointments and even private nursing – so you can keep living in your element.
Community connections
Staying connected with your friends, family and wider community is scrumptious food for the soul.
And here at Acquaint, we’re all about keeping the social wheels turning by spicing up your outings and helping you visit your loved ones. Whether that means we’re in amongst the action or channelling our inner fly on the nearest wall.
Reliable transportation
As the years go by, getting oneself around can become a bit of a pickle. But fear not! Acquaint is here to whisk you away to appointments, shopping sprees and even a quick trip to the Amalfi Coast, should the desire so arise.
Our safe and reliable home care transportation services ensure you stay independent and keep the good times rolling!
Why choose Acquaint for your home support?
While aged care homes certainly have their charm, they also cramp your style with their rigid rules and restrictions. Acquaint’s in-home support services, on the other hand, offer a delightful array of advantages – all of which let you live life on your own terms.
Maintain independence and familiar surroundings
Picture this: sitting in the most comfortable of chairs, surrounded by thousands of fond memories, spending your day on a schedule that suits your preferences.
Oh, wait a moment, that’s the life you’re living now!
And with Acquaint, you can remain the captain of your own ship. This level of control not only nurtures a sense of autonomy and wellbeing, but it’s also something that no communal setup can match.
Personalised support
At Acquaint, we think cookie-cutter solutions are as dull as dishwater, quite frankly.
That’s why our support services are tailor-made just for you! We take the time to understand your unique quirks and desires, guaranteeing you get the royal treatment – and can carry on with your fabulous life!
Improved health
Being surrounded by what you know and love does wonders for the soul, darling.
Acquaint’s personalised care and lively social scene are the perfect recipe for a skip in your step and a twinkle in your eye, no matter your age. With us, you can stay in your groove, surrounded by your cherished treasures and tales, without compromising your mental or emotional health.
Stronger family bonds
At Acquaint, we prefer to keep one’s family ties strong and the love flowing.
Visiting hours are so passé. With us, you can have your loved ones over whenever the mood strikes. Creating cherished memories and sharing precious moments spontaneously – just the way it should be.
Comparing Acquaint’s support services to other options
We know what we offer is leaps and bounds ahead of the rest. And here’s how we stack up against your other care options.
Government-funded home care
While government-funded programs do have their perks, sometimes they’re as rare as a unicorn sighting – hidden amongst limited service availability, strict eligibility criteria and not-so-hidden fees.
Acquaint, on the other hand, rolls out the red carpet with a selection of support services tailored just for you. From flexible schedules to personalised care, we’re here to make our clients feel like royalty.
Family care
We know families give their all when it comes to caring, but let’s face it: even superheroes need a break.
Acquaint steps in to give your loved ones a well-deserved breather, offering support and know-how to keep things running smoothly. So you can keep your family time fun, light-hearted and peaceful.
