For carers and family

Common question


Question:	Dad has trouble eating. Is there someone who can help him?
Answer:	First discuss this with your father’s doctor. If your dad just needs help with eating his meals, you could contact Commonwealth Carelink Centres on 1800 052 222 to see if they can provide assistance. If your father has had an ACAT assessment which found him eligible for low-level care assistance, you could discuss his care needs with a CACP provider who also may be able to help him.
