Help staying at home

Common question


Question:	My regular medicines are in a Webster pack, but those I use only occasionally are still in the original packaging. I'm having trouble opening the bottle or the foil packet. Who can help me with this?
Answer:	You need to discuss this with your doctor and possibly get an Aged Care Assessment Team assessment to see if you are eligible for a Community Aged Care Package. You may also wish to contact Commonwealth Respite and Carelink Centre for information about other services such as the Home and Community Care (HACC) Program and Extended Care at Home (EACH) which may suit your circumstances.
