Looking for frailty support in Footscray? We connect participants, families, carers and support coordinators with trusted local NDIS and care providers — at no cost.
What is Frailty in Older Adults?
Frailty describes a reduced ability to recover from illness, injury or stress as we age. Small problems can cascade — a minor infection or fall can lead to a long recovery. Aged care services help maintain function, safety and quality of life at home.
Common challenges people may experience
- Reduced strength and stamina
- Slow recovery from illness or hospital
- Falls and balance
- Nutrition and weight loss
- Loneliness and reduced activity
How the NDIS may support people with Frailty in Older Adults
Where frailty causes significant, ongoing impact, the NDIS may fund a tailored mix of supports — including allied health therapies, support workers, support coordination, assistive technology and community participation. Every plan is different and built around the participant's goals. We can help you find providers once your plan is in place.
How aged care services may help
Frailty support is usually accessed through My Aged Care — via the Commonwealth Home Support Programme for lighter needs, or a Home Care Package for more comprehensive support.
