Aged Care Services

How Aged Care Services works

Awabakal Aged Care Services staff will work with you to develop what is known as ‘My Story’. This will include asking questions about your family, your history and your health.

This is where you are able to discuss what is important to you, any worries you have about your health, what you might need to help improve your day to day life and what kind of support you need.

Based on your story, Awabakal will help with building a 'plan' for you. This plan will be tailored to your individual needs and will incorporate the services you will require.
