Co.As.It. has the expertise and experience to cater to the needs of CALD (culturally and linguistically diverse), elderly people.
To access our services, you will be required to undertake an assessment of your needs, as well as pay a small contribution. No person will be refused service provision if they are assessed as having financial difficulties.
The first step is to contact My Aged Care and go through registration. If you need some assistance to do this you can contact our care services coordinator and Co.As.It. can provide assistance and guidance in organising this assessment with My Aged Care (1800 200 422).
Aged care is a complex topic but a chat with one of our care services coordinators will make it feel less confusing. They have many years of experience getting the best for you or your family. If you would like to chat about what’s possible, please do get in touch.
If you have time right now, why not call us? A personal conversation is always better don’t you think?
