Care Live Smile Information Session

Thank you to Ronna, from Care Live Smile, who came to talk to us about accessing care services in the area. She spoke about the importance of connecting with MyAgedCare, and of getting into the system early before an emergency. She explained how to register with Carer Gateway, a great service that provides help for carers of all ages. Although Care Live Smile is a provider, Ronna told us that there are many different options out there to explore, and she suggested having conversations with a few people to find out what will work for us as individuals. She discussed accessing home care services like shopping, cleaning and making food, as well as transport and general support. Those that came to the talk asked questions throughout and went away with a greater understanding of the options available. Ronna brought us a beautiful morning tea of fresh fruit, lamingtons and muffins, and we enjoyed those over a cuppa and a chat. Thanks to everyone involved in this interesting and informative event.
