Living Well with Mobility Limitations
Mobility Limitations can be a risk factor for several conditions and lead to increased isolation and loneliness. A carer helps to make your home more accessible.
Over 2.7 million Australians provide informal, unpaid care to a friend or relative – which is 11% of Australia’s population. Of these carers, 70% of them are women with an average age of 50.
This care can include help and support with any daily activities of living including household chores, feeding, showering, dressing and providing transport.
Additionally, it often includes support around specific medical conditions such as managing medications and attending appointments. Carers also tend to take on the role of emotional support and providing the person receiving care with a social network.
More than half of Australia’s primary carers provide over 20 hours of care a week. So it’s easy to see how carers are making it viable for millions of Australians to live at home with independence for longer.
But this role, combined with formal paid work and additional family obligations, can be incredibly overwhelming.
Getting some additional help can be a big relief for both the carer and the person receiving support. Some areas where support can make a big difference include:
