Kevin’s Support at Home story

Nobody agrees with this sentiment more than 94-year old Kevin from Moe, and his son Peter.

“My Home Care Package means more time with my family,” Kevin said.

Kevin has five children and 14 grandkids who take turns to visit him most days.

Thanks to his Home Care Package – which includes cleaning, personal care, garden and lawn maintenance, equipment, physiotherapy and weekly outings with a carer – Kevin and his family get to focus on the important things.

This includes working on his family tree project, maintaining the fish tank, chatting to cockatoo George in the backyard, and enjoying Kevin’s garden together.

As well as spending more quality time with his dad, Peter says the Home Care Package gives him more time for himself.

“There’s probably only once or twice a week where I don’t come down, and that’s when Dad’s with his carer. It allows you to do different things too,” Peter said.

“We’ve got a lot of people in our family who have worked as carers. Having someone like LCHS on board as well means you’ve got nothing to worry about.”
