ADV E RTORI AL Creating independence, not losing it… Everything you thought you knew about aged care has changed. Today, consumers have much more say in determining what they need to live a fulfilling and rewarding retirement. Aged care providers like Barossa Village have to be far more flexible and adaptive in meeting these needs and providing choices. Older people in our community mistakenly believe that asking for help to manage their daily lives means losing their independence. Nothing could be further from the truth. Seeking support when you need it, results in far better outcomes for living a happier and healthier life. We call it an “integrated care approach” that can be accessed through our retirement living, home care, supported accommodation and residential care. This integrated approach is unique to Barossa Village and provides our clients a seamless transition as they age and the support to live a productive and better life. Our qualified staff are available to help you navigate your way through My Aged Care, tailor a Home Care Package to help you live independently in your own home, explore the options of our independent living units in Tanunda, Nuriootpa and Angaston, or discuss supported accommodation and residential care. Be proactive and achieve the goals that you want to live a more fulfilling life. Barossa Village is a community owned not for profit organisation, celebrating over 55 years of providing aged care services to the Barossa. www.barossavillage.org | p. 08 8562 0300 Being part of the Barossa Village community means accessing the care and support of our qualified staff when and how you need us.
