Lynette is 75 and her husband, George, is 70. With a little help from home care, they’re able to live healthily and happily together at home.

“George has early dementia, but he’s pretty fit apart from that. But I’ve got rheumatoid and osteo, and we just felt we needed more help to stay at home.”

“Baptcare has changed our lives. It’s wonderful. George and I are both on a level two Home Care Package, and it’s so good.” Learn more about funding options for home care.

“We’ve got the freedom of not having to do all the cleaning or making the beds. But the main thing I look forward to is the meals! We have wonderful meals every day sent here. It has taken so much pressure off us. It’s great.”

“Dolly is our case worker, and we love Dolly. She’s just the best. I didn’t know anything about what was involved in Home Care. Dolly was just so wonderful, coming in and sitting down, and chatting with us to tell us what we’re eligible for.”

“Baptcare has changed our lives. It’s wonderful. George and I are both on a level two Home Care Package, and it’s so good. I’m very, very happy.”
