Personal Care & Daily Activities in Epping
Epping is close to Northern Hospital, so a lot of the personal care we start here begins on the day somebody comes home. Those first two weeks are when people are least steady on their feet and most likely to have a fall, and they are exactly when support is hardest to arrange at short notice.
Personal care does not have to stay at the level it starts at. It can be heavy for a few weeks and then taper, or run as one short visit a day for years, or step up again after a hospital stay and step back down afterwards. Washing, dressing, grooming, toileting and medication prompts are the usual contents; the amount is meant to follow how you actually are.
What this looks like in Epping
- We can start on the day of discharge where a bed is waiting and the referral comes early enough

Often, yes — as long as the referral reaches us early enough to roster it. Ring us as soon as a discharge date is being discussed rather than on the day itself. The earlier we know, the more likely it is that you come home to someone already booked.
No. Send us the discharge summary and we work from that, along with anything your GP or allied health team has written. You should not have to repeat your medical history to a stranger while you are still recovering from whatever put you in there.
