🔷 LIVING LATER LIFE WELL 🔷 CULCAIRN 🔷

The "Living Later Life Well" Seniors Week event held in Culcairn, organised by the Culcairn Local Health Advisory Committee (LHAC) with Sponsorship by Greater Hume Council was an informative session where attendees learnt the simple steps to get support to be able to stay in their own homes as they age.

Some key points were:

1. Apply for an assessment at myagedcare.gov.au/applyonline or by telephoning 1800 200 422 or by calling in at Services Australia (Albury branch located in Wilson Street, Albury, in the Centrelink/Medicare offices).

2. Have an assessment - An assessor will come and meet you in your home to discuss your day-to-day activities and areas you need help.

3. Costs - Services Australia will assess your Income/Means and let you know how much these services will cost you.

4. Service provision - Your assessor will match you up with service providers in your region.

🌟 Top Tips:
🔹Get the help of a family member or trusted advisor when going through this process.
🔹Be prepared and specify what you need to help with your day-to-day activities so that you can be matched with a service provider that best suits your needs; and
🔹Be aware of your financial situation, have as much information with you as possible before you attend an appointment with MyAged Care / Services Australia.
