Resource Information and Referral

It is important for caregivers to receive assistance and support for specific needs and situations

Often caregivers call to ask questions about a specific need (such as transportation, medical equipment and supplies, nursing services).

An elderly woman asked if financial assistance was available. Her husband, whom she had been looking after at home since his stroke, was now diagnosed with cancer and required treatment in Victoria. They could not afford the 4 night stay. We referred her to relevant resources and followed up to see that she had found the assistance she needed.
