Mounties has launched Mounties Care Home Care in Victoria to offer ageing Victorians in-home support services.
Mounties Care Home Care is just one service offering of Mounties Care, the health division of Mounties Group, a profit-for-purpose organisation and one of the largest Club groups in Australia.
According to Mounties Group CEO Dale Hunt, delivering care in the home is core to Mounties Care’s mission.
“The later years of a persons’ life can be particularly challenging, though the benefits of ageing-in-place are well researched,” he said.
“Our members are our family at Mounties Group, and our goal is to work with Australians to create tailored care packages that not only enable a continued quality of life, but enhance it through support and wellbeing activities based on an individual – rather than blanket – approach to home care”.
Victorians will have the option to use Home Care Packages, NDIS, or private funding to access Mounties Care Home Care for services such as hourly or 24-hour care, companionship, live-in care, overnight care, respite care, domestic assistance, transport, mobility support, and more.
Clients of Mounties Care Home Care include the elderly, people living with dementia or disability, people returning home after hospitalisation, those requiring respite care or who may be terminally ill, and those in nursing homes who may require additional support.
When the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety delivered its final report in 2021, it recommended that people’s preferences of ageing in place should be met.
The launch of Mounties Care Home Care in Victoria forms part of the healthcare organisation’s wider plan to enhance support to all community members across the country.
It comes as Mounties awaits council approval to open an integrated health clinic in Sydney’s southwest. The club envisions the centre will house complimentary health professionals under one roof, specialising in chronic and difficult to treat conditions.
