Coronary heart disease is one of the world’s biggest killers, so anyone dealing with a heart condition has to be careful to look after themselves and generally work to ensure they’re not put under any undue stress and strain. It’s a problem that tends to affect men more commonly than women, but anyone can be impacted by it, no matter their age, race or gender.

It’s sometimes the case that coronary heart disease is caused by lifestyles and habits, but it can also be something that impacts people through their genetics. Finding the right care to help you deal with your heart condition is essential if you believe that this sort of care will help you lead a healthier lifestyle and a more sustainable lifestyle going forward. At Home Caring, we provide in home care to people with various heart conditions, and we’re always ready to talk to you about the possibility of providing you with the care you need.

There are so many ways in which heart conditions can impact your life, so it makes sense to think about whether professional care might help you and improve your quality of life going forward. We can ensure you’re helped out and assisted in whichever ways are right for you and helpful to your needs and the heart condition causing them. When it comes to the health of your heart, it’s never worth taking risks, so make the most of our care services. You can find out more about them below.

About Heart Disease

Your heart is muscle responsible for pumping your blood around your body, taking oxygen to all parts of your body as it does so. The whole process of your heart pumping blood around your body is known as circulation. The heart also needs a supply of blood and this supply is provided by the coronary arteries around the heart. When these arteries become blocked, that’s when coronary heart disease occurs.

That blockage is usually caused by a fatty substance that builds up over time. Once the blockage occurs, it makes a variety of heart problems more likely. Things like high blood pressure, high-fat diets and smoking can cause that build up over time, as well as other health conditions. There are all kinds of other heart conditions that you can also experience and these can require extra care too. If your daily life has been impacted by your heart condition, care is a positive option.

Of course, your health should always be taken care of by a doctor who understands your situation. Why not talk to them about your heart condition and how it’s impacting your life? You might get a clearer idea of whether care is a good option for you. We’ll take care of things that help you get more out of each day and improve your quality of life. We can also take the pressure off those around you who’ve been doing care work for you.

Our Heart Disease Care

We know how scary it can be when you’re dealing with a heart condition or when you’re caring for a loved one or family member who’s going through those things. We’ll make sure that your family members are loved ones don’t have to do too much care work and that they aren’t stressed out by the situation. We do that by taking care of those little daily things that you can’t do and that those around you might not have the time or energy to do.

We also understand the needs of people suffering from various heart conditions. Our carers are trained to deal with your needs, and they’ll always work to your specific needs as well because we know that every situation is unique. Your care needs will not be the same as another person’s who has the same condition as you. That’s something we factor into the care that we provide to you or your loved one.

We make sure that the carer that works with you will be right for you and offer a good match. This allows them to offer you better companionship and emotional support as well, which is often just as important as the practical and medical support that our carers can offer. You’ll be paired with a carer whose personality matches and complements yours for the best possible outcomes for you both.

Practical and Medical Support

As mentioned above, we offer both practical and medical support to people like you or your loved one. Those practical things that you used to be able to do so easily often become a lot harder when you’re dealing with a heart condition. We understand that and we make sure that the practical things you can no longer take care of are taken care of for you by a compassionate and helpful carer from our team.

We’ll find out about your medical situation so that the carer working with you will be fully informed regarding your needs and how to help care for you on a day to day basis. We feel it’s important to understand as much as possible about your situation before starting to care for you. These discussions will be open and compassionate because they’re in everyone’s best interests.

By offering you both practical and medical care and support each day, your quality of life will improve dramatically. If you’ve been struggling with daily life and the demands that it places on and those around you, our care services will help you get back on track and make the most of each day. There’s no reason why your heart condition should stop you and your family enjoying life each day.

Dedicated and Experienced Carers

All of the carers that work for us here at Home Caring are dedicated to helping people like you and your family. They know how to make you feel more comfortable, confident and motivated thanks to the emotional support they can offer you. It’s about more than helping you with practical and medical support; they also know how to give you the emotional support that’s so very important.

They also have plenty of experience and this helps them to understand your needs much better. They know what to do in different situations in order to provide the best possible care to you. Our carers have already helped many people with heart conditions and their families, and this experience will benefit you. This experience makes them the best people to help you in a professional, reliable and effective way each day.

You’ll have the chance to speak to the carer before they start working in your home. We’ll help to make sure that they understand your specific needs ahead of time. It’s also important that the person that works for you as a carer is the right match for you and your personality, so that’s something that will certainly be taken into account. All of these things matter when finding the perfect carer for you.

Visits That Meet Care Recipients’ Needs

Each visit will be tailored to your needs. Rather than just doing things by numbers and going through the same old routines, we make sure that each time we visit your home to provide care, there’s a plan in place for what has to happen and what needs to be done. This is about making sure that the care you receive is capable of meeting your needs and helping improve your quality of life.

This planning is a big part of what we do because we aim to provide the best possible service to every person who pays for our care. You have a right to expect high standards from the carers you hire and that’s a philosophy that we definitely strive to embody. We know that when you have a heart condition, your care needs can change from visit to visit, but that’s never a problem for our carers.

Whether you need support with emotional or mental health issues or you just need some help around the home getting things done, our carers will provide you with a service that works for you and helps you stay as independent as possible. We’ll also aim to take the strain off of family members and loved ones in the home.

Each heart disease sufferer has specific needs that have to be dealt with and countered in specific ways. We pay close attention to the needs of the individual and ensure the services we offer are right for them and allow them the independence and the support they’re looking for. We know that finding a care service provider can be tough, but with our comprehensive experience in helping heart disease sufferers, we’re best-placed to provide the care service you’re in need of.

Get in touch with us today if you want to discuss things with us and find out more about how our care services can help you and your family. A member of our team will be ready and waiting to take your call, so call 1300 875 377.

The Australian Government has announced significant changes to the aged care system introducing the Support at Home program set to commence on 1 July 2025. This initiative aims to enhance support for older Australians enabling them to remain in their homes longer and receive more personalised care.

Key Features of the Support at Home Program:

• Reduced Wait Times: The program will shorten the waiting period for in-home aged care services ensuring timely assistance for those in need.

• Tailored Support Levels: Support at Home introduces eight levels of ongoing care replacing the previous four, to better match individual needs.

• No Caps on Cleaning and Gardening: Unlike previous programs there will be no annual caps on cleaning and gardening services allowing for more comprehensive support.

• Care Management Cap: A 10% cap on care management costs will remain in place to maintain affordability.

• Assistive Technology Access: The program will expedite access to assistive devices like walkers and wheelchairs enhancing mobility and independence.

• Increased Support Funding: The maximum support level will rise from $61,000 to $78,000, providing more resources for those with complex needs.

• Restorative and Allied Health Services: There will be a temporary funding boost for restorative and allied health services, aiding recovery and well-being.

• Palliative Care Support: The program includes provisions for palliative care allowing older Australians to spend their final weeks at home surrounded by loved ones.

Staged Implementation of Price Caps:

Price caps on services will be phased in starting from 1 July 2026. For the first year providers will continue to set their own prices similar to the current Home Care Packages program. In early 2025, consultations will be held with older people, advocates, families, carers and the sector to ensure fair pricing and robust consumer protections during this transition.

No Worse Off Principle:

To protect existing Home Care Package recipients, the government has introduced the “No Worse Off” principle:

• Grandfathering: Individuals approved for a Home Care Package as of 12 September 2024 will transition to the new system without financial disadvantage.

• Fee Structure: If you were a full-rate pensioner paying no fees under your Home Care Package as of 12 September 2024, you will continue to pay no fees under Support at Home. If you were required to pay fees, you will pay the same or less under the new program.

At Home Caring we are dedicated to supporting our older community members through these changes. We are committed to ensuring the financial safety and well-being of our clients providing personalised care that aligns with the new Support at Home program. Our team is here to assist you in navigating these updates, ensuring you receive the care and support you deserve. 🩵
