If you start thinking of looking for nursing homes for your elderly loved ones, you might want to think things through again, as perhaps there are some factors you forgot to consider. The fact is, majority of seniors just need a little help in doing their daily activities. They have been with you most of your life in your home, and they almost all the time wish to stay in it.

As your relatives get older, they get to a point where they become incapable of caring for themselves. When the time comes, they will need help in doing their everyday tasks. This is also the moment when you decide what you need to do to assist them.

However, you cannot do all the work all the time, as you know you have priorities of your own. You may think sending them to a home may be the best and easiest thing, but it isn’t. Putting them in a nursing facility will only make them feel hopeless and unhappy; the last thing they need right now at that age is to be sent away from their children and grandchildren and be with other old people. It is utterly depressing.

When you really ponder on it, if they only require assistance in doing their daily endeavors, perhaps availing aged care Sydney services is the right option. They do not actually have to live in a facility; they can have senior services in your home. Carers Sydney will visit your house for a number of hours every day and spend time aiding your parents or grandparents with tasks they can no longer do on their own. Not only will they do that, they will also check up on them to make sure they are in perfect health condition.

Elderly home care best suits those who do not require 24-hour assistance and monitoring. Your loved ones may be recovering from a recent operation or maybe a certain illness and they simply want minimum support when taking medication, walking from one place to another, or preparing their meals. Not only will you keep your relatives from being lonely in a secluded facility, you are giving them the independence and freedom to do what they want in the comfort of their own home.

Sending them to a nursing home should only be used as a last option. Elderly home care, on the other hand, spells convenience as well as practicality, especially when you are on a tight budget. Nursing homes aren’t exactly cheap, so opting for home care would be better.

Companion Care is one those [http://www.companioncareservices.com.au Sydney aged care] service providers that offer excellent assistance to the elderly suffering disabilities and illnesses, and practically anyone who is in need of a little support performing certain tasks at home.

SIGs?

I couldnt find links to the ACL special interest groups. I guess a good place is the first page under topics. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ioan (talk • contribs) 17 December 2006.

I am not sure that's the appropriate section. There is only about two dozens of SIGs, and they are not classified geographically like the other organisations. I think they should go straight on the first page, because they are an important part of ACL. --Ioan 09:53, 17 December 2006 (EST)
