Plan to care for elderly in Lower Hawkesbury

River Cares and Mable Services are looking for carers

River Cares is joining forces with Mable Services to create local jobs while caring for the elderly and people living with disability in Spencer and surrounds.

“For too long Spencer and Gunderman residents have been continually let down by service providers (coming from other parts of the Central Coast) failing to provide services to those in need,” spokesperson Robyn Downham said.

“River Cares is reaching out to people who have a My Aged Home Care Package and are unhappy with their current service provider.

“River Cares and Mable Services are providing a unique approach to the issue of servicing Home Care Packages in rural communities.

“To meet growing demand we are looking for people from Spencer and surrounding communities to join Mabel as independent support workers to offer their services to clients directly.

“By signing up to Mable, you’ll be able to choose your rate of pay, your hours and you’ll be helping older neighbours to continue living independently in the community.”

Downham said the initiative was an excellent opportunity to create new jobs for local carers to help elderly residents to be able to continue living in their homes.

“This is a great way to give back to your community by helping someone in need whilst earning an income at the same time,” she said.

“It’s a win win for everyone.”
