At Flexicare Brissie, everything we do is centred on one goal: helping you live life your way. Independence looks different for everyone – for some, it’s getting ready in the morning without rushing or stress; for others, it’s having the confidence to catch a bus, meet friends, or manage their own health with support.
Here are five key ways Flexicare Brissie works alongside you to build and protect your independence.
1. Respectful in-home support that builds confidence
Independence often starts at home. Our in-home care and personal support is designed to support your abilities, not replace them.
We can help with:
- Morning and evening routines
- Showering, dressing and grooming
- Toileting and continence support
- Meal preparation and gentle prompts
Our team works at your pace, encouraging you to do what you can and stepping in where you need a hand. Over time, that can mean doing more for yourself, with less stress and more confidence.
2. Making daily living and household tasks manageable
A tidy, organised home can make a huge difference to how independent and in control you feel. Flexicare Brissie supports you with:
- Cleaning and laundry
- Bed-making and changing linen
- Light household tasks
- Basic meal prep and planning
Rather than “taking over”, we work with you – breaking tasks into smaller steps, creating routines and, where possible, involving you in decisions so your home still feels like your space.
3. Helping you stay connected to your community
Independence isn’t just about what happens at home – it’s also about being part of your community. We support you to:
- Attend appointments, classes or programs
- Join social groups and recreational activities
- Explore new hobbies and interests
- Build friendships and social confidence
Whether you prefer one-to-one support or small groups, our focus is on making sure you feel safe, respected and included while you’re out and about.
4. Building life and social skills for the long term
One of the most powerful ways to support independence is to build skills that last. Flexicare Brissie can help you learn and practise:
- Shopping and cooking
- Budgeting and basic money management
- Using technology and staying safe online
- Planning your day and managing your time
- Travel training and using public transport
We go at your pace, using real-life situations so skills feel practical and relevant, not overwhelming.
5. Providing nursing support that keeps you in control
For participants with more complex health needs, our community nursing care can reduce hospital visits and support you to stay well at home. This may include:
- Wound care and dressings
- Medication administration and monitoring
- Catheter and continence support
- Health education for you, your family and carers
By managing your health in familiar surroundings and involving you in decisions, we help you stay informed, confident and as independent as possible.
