ISOBEL Harrison is preparing to celebrate her 93rd birthday and feels lucky to be living independently and close to her daughters.
“My daughter said to me the other day that I’m so lucky and I agree. The Calvary Home Care team has made life so much easier,” Ms Harrison said.
In 2017, Isobel thought she’d lose her independence after major surgery. Calvary Home Care stepped in to provide the support she needed.
“Initially, Calvary Home Care helped me with the cleaning but, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve started receiving more support,” Ms Harrison said.
“After a few falls, the support workers now help me with my daily showers and getting dressed in the morning. Once a week, they come and do my grocery shopping. The team do such a brilliant job.”
Calvary Home Care Shepparton Service Manager, Scott Bohun said Ms Harrison was one of about 1,300 clients across Greater Shepparton, from Echuca to Yarrawonga, Nathalia to Seymour, and over to Benalla.
“It is important to us our clients feel supported, especially when their needs increase. We know how important it is for them to stay in their own home as long as they can,” Mr Bohun said.
