NPA AGED CARE AND DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICE
Beth Wright has been appointed as the new Aged Care and Disability Services Manager at NPARC, taking over from Patricia Fulton. She brings over 30 years of experience in community services, safety, and training sectors, with a strong background in program development and implementation for mainstream and remote communities alike.
Beth is deeply committed to training, development, and empowerment, ensuring support for both clients and staff. She will personally connect with all aged care clients to conduct comprehensive reviews of their care needs. Her main goal is to ensure that clients who require additional aged care services are appropriately reassessed for Home Care Packages that meet their higher levels of support services.
The team at the Aged Care and Disability Support Service are committed to helping clients lead meaningful lives by implementing initiatives that promote health, happiness, and overall well-being. They emphasise teamwork to innovate and deliver high-quality, client-focused services tailored to individual needs.
Access to aged care services requires individuals to meet specific criteria: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people must be over 50 years old, and non-Indigenous individuals over 65 years old. Registration on My Aged Care and assessment by either the Regional Assessment Service or the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) are also necessary. Unfortunately, services cannot be provided to those not registered and approved through My Aged Care.
Beth actively promotes community involvement and seeks opportunities to engage various stakeholders to create a holistic, wraparound approach to services. This model focuses on understanding each client's needs through personalised care plans and regular reviews. By prioritising clients, they aim to meet immediate care needs while fostering a supportive environment where clients feel valued, respected, and empowered.
Feedback from clients and families is highly valued, driving continuous improvement in service delivery. This commitment ensures that every individual receives services and support that are tailored to their requirements. Beth and the dedicated aged care team are committed to maintaining exceptional services for the elders in our community.
