Today is World Cerebral Palsy Day. Cerebral Palsy

Today is World Cerebral Palsy Day.

Cerebral Palsy is a group of disorders that affect movement and parts of the body. Often, the condition affects posture, walking, muscle and coordination. Depending on how it is managed, cerebral palsy may worsen over time.

Concept Care offers assistance to those living with cerebral palsy. We take the time to understand the severity of each individual condition so that we have the right resources to support. Whether it be home care, personal care or out of hospital care, we are here to meet you or your loved ones needs.

October 6th is a day where we can come together as a community and celebrate, love and support those living with cerebral palsy. It is important that we bring awareness, bring focus and educate those outside of the community about this condition.

Dementia impacts close to half a million Australia

Dementia impacts close to half a million Australians, and it is estimated that almost 1.6 million Australians are involved in the care of someone living with dementia.

September is Dementia Awareness Month, and this year's theme 'You are not alone' was chosen to shed light on how dementia can often be an isolating and lonely experience. Dementia Awareness Month aims to break down some of the barriers surrounding a lack of understanding, education and awareness about the condition, and instead create a more inclusive and kind community where those with dementia and their families can feel supported.

At Concept Care, we provide a range of services to support those living with dementia. These range from personal services, home maintenance, assistance with meal preparation, occupational therapy and companionship, just to name a few. This month, we encourage you and your loved ones to have an open discussion to bring awareness to the condition and learn ways that you can make a difference to the lives of people who are impacted.

All too often, there are illnesses that can't be seen but can be the most harmful. Mental health and well-being is crucial in today's environment, and even more so during this time.

Suicide Prevention Day aims to raise awareness of the prevalence of suicide in our community. The impacts of suicide are immediate and long-lasting and are felt by families, friends and the wider community. Together, we can raise awareness about suicide.

To ensure that our clients receive the maximum supports Our support staff are all trained in providing not only physical care, but mental health supports too. We are there to offer companionship through conversation, company on social outings, engagement in arts and crafts, and much more.

Let's also work to continue this topic of conversation in our daily lives.

Always remember, a smile and genuine kindness goes a long way!

Ahhh COVID. And lockdowns. And lockdown extensions

Ahhh COVID. And lockdowns. And lockdown extensions. And working from home.

The team at Concept Care sent each other pictures with their family and loved ones to check in on each other during lockdown.

We are a society that relies on and thrives from social interactions to maintain some level of sanity. With the sudden implementation of a lockdown, coupled with the uncertainty of when we are returning to life near normal leaves us at an impasse.

During this time, most of us will be left working from home, and finally, have some time to clean out that box of things we never get around to. Others, like us at Concept Care, cling to the reassurance of having SOME human contact with people other than our families (whom we love spending time with).

Unfortunately, there are some people who find that staying at home is a punishment as they may live alone, or have a not-so-positive home environment, and the hardest realisation is not knowing what someone is going through.

R U Ok Day is the perfect opportunity to reach out to our friends, family, and colleagues to check in on them and let them know that someone cares about their wellbeing. Alternatively, giving someone the good old double thumbs-up on our daily walk is a true blue Aussie way to let others know that we care.

If you would like to talk to someone, please reach out to us on 1800 266 237, or send us a message.

We are here to help!

Today the team at Concept Care had a Rapid Antigen

Today the team at Concept Care had a Rapid Antigen Test training session with Christina.

As your safety is our number one priority, we have invested in a huge number of testing kits to use in the event of a COVID contact scare.

These tests show a result in 10 minutes and are designed to detect up to 12 COVID variants. Although it's NOT a stand-alone test, it's still a fast and effective screening protocol we can use to ensure the safety of our clients and employees.

These kits are TGA approved, and the results are highly accurate.

Luckily, it's just a nasal swab, and we don't have to go too far up your nose!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Daffodil Day is an annual fundraiser run by the Ca

Daffodil Day is an annual fundraiser run by the Cancer Council. This day aims to raise funds for cancer research and increase cancer awareness in the community.

There are many forms of cancer, and most of them are unfortunately incurable in the long term. Types of cancer include skin, lung, prostate, breast, bladder, and kidney cancer. Living with cancer isn’t easy, for those who have been diagnosed or have a loved one who has been diagnosed. It’s important to check in with those who have been diagnosed and their families and encourage our loved ones to go for regular check-ups.

Concept Care is here to support you and your loved ones who have been diagnosed with severe stages of cancer that NDIS fund supports for. We’re here to help you with basic things such as shopping, transport to appointments, and cooking meals, along with just having someone there to offer emotional support.

Cancer is caused by gene mutations anywhere in the body and metastasise uniquely for different individuals. This is why the Cancer Council needs our support to fund the crucial research they are doing to investigate specific causes and possible treatments.

Please visit Cancer Council Daffodil Day to donate or find out more.

If you or a loved one are looking for supports, please don’t hesitate to contact us on 1800 266 237.
