Murray River

Community Care program

UPA Murray River Community Aged Care Packages (CACP) aims to provide people with the opportunity to remain in their own home and continue to be part of the community in the way they have always been.  This enables them to remain contributors to the important network already developed, recognizing both their dignity and their value for our society.  UPA Murray River CACP’s has 20 packages in Lavington and 5 Henty.

To be eligible for the programme people need to have been assessed by the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT).  Once the ACAT assessment has been completed and deemed eligible they are considered for admission to the programme.

The programme focuses on each person’s individual needs and is designed specifically for the person it is servicing. Services that can be offered are personal care, light housework, laundry, shopping, day care, appointments, mobility, meal preparation and medication monitoring.
