Community Care assists our clients and our supporters within the community, with their home and garden maintenance requirements. These services were initially designed to provide low cost home assistance to our MS clients, however we are delighted to be able to extend that assistance to supporters of the MS Society and the wider community with very competitive rates and delivery of a quality service. The income generated from our work in the community, allows us to offer more services to people living with MS, enhancing independent living and their quality of life. Our Garden and Home Maintenance service assists with lawn mowing, whipper snipping, weed control and light pruning; along with basic household maintenance such as installing handrails, changing light globes and other minor repairs to the home. Our Domestic Assistance support consists of help with general home cleaning, vacuuming, dusting, removal of cobwebs, window cleaning, as well as coordinating an online grocery shopping service. These are services that certainly add value to our clients and their families, and the extra support at home with the day to day maintenance, assists in boosting wellness, energy and positivity. Community Care also provides in home and day to day respite support to MS clients, who are cared for by family or household members, by giving carers a short term break from their usual support routine. Whether it is providing transport support to medical appointments, or a day activity to allow the primary carer some personal time, Community Care can assist. There is significant appreciation of the role which family members play in providing care to their relatives with MS and other disabilities. Caregivers represent a tremendous resource and without their dedication, a much greater percentage of people with a disability would not be able to enjoy the surroundings of home as much as they do. For more information about this service please contact Sarah Milbank, Community Solutions Manager, on 08 8203 6600 or email smilbank@ms.asn.au
