I offer a couple of ways to work together. We'll choose what fits your parent's needs:

If emailing let me know:

• Where your parent lives (suburb)

• What you're looking for (weekly support, flexible visits, or short-term help)

• Best time for a quick call (and timezone)

I'm pretty responsive so will get back to you ASAP.

This is weekly support for your parent. What it looks like depends on what they need that week - could be a couple of shorter visits, could be one longer day together and a check-in. We plan it based on what's actually happening in their life.

Maybe they'd like me to pop in earlier. It could be they would like to go out for lunch, or have company to take them on a social outing. Maybe they'd like someone to watch their favourite show with at night. There is flexibility so if plans change on the day, and they need to shift, postpone or cancel, these is no penalty, we simply change.

I'll coordinate any medical appointments and take them along. I attend with them, take notes, ask questions. I can liaise with family as needed and I'll keep you updated if things change.

I'm available by call or text if your parent needs me outside our usual pattern. Support flexes with your parent’s week. I don’t clock-watch. I do what’s needed.

I work with a small number of families so my availability stays fluid.

Lean On Me

Ideal for when your parent needs more involved support on-call. It might be after a hospital stay, during a recovery period, or when life is feeling a bit confused and you need someone who can coordinate.

This is a higher level of support. I take care of more of the day to day, stay closely in touch with you and step in when things need attention.

You choose how involved you want to be.
If you'd like brief updates, I keep them short.
If you'd rather step back and let me run things, I can do that too.

Just like you would, I'll make sure they have food available, check their medication has been taken and make sure they're getting to their appointments.

Support flexes with your parent’s week. I don’t clock-watch. I do what’s needed.

If something unexpected happens, or they're unsettled, they can call me and I'll organise what's needed.

The Gentle PA partners with a highly experienced nurse for more clinical based support and advice. Helpful for situations where a qualified nurse is needed.

This may include:

• Post-operative support

• Wound care within scope

• Hospital-to-home guidance

• Monitoring after a health change

• Clear updates so the family knows what’s happening

Availability is limited.

Ask if you’d like to arrange an RN visit.

If My Aged Care is part of your plan, I can help you make sense of the process so it doesn’t feel overwhelming.

What's involved:

• Help gather the information needed for the application

• Organise the assessment appointment

• Coordinate with the assessor and providers

• Keep you updated so you know what’s happening

This is especially helpful for expat families who can’t be here in person, or local families who are already stretched.

If Mum or Dad have post surgery discharge, or you just need a break, just give me a call.

We can work out a plan depending on their needs.

Every family is different. Tell me what’s happening and I’ll see how I can help, or refer if I can't for any reason.
