Ep 2 Path to Independence: Joanna Maxwell speaks with 74 year old inspirational Di Tranter on the decision to get home care

"Make everyday a favourite day!" shares 74 years young Di Tranter, a quote from Winnie the Pooh. Di talks to host Joanna Maxwell how a recent major surgery led her to consider more home care services and describes how these decisions impact her daily life, sharing her positive and inspirational outlook on enjoying life, care and relationships. We learn from Di's story that home care is very individual, it is not a cookie cutter thing. It puts older people in control of the important decisions, their provider, the budget, their care plan. A home care package is based around your own goals and interests. What is meaningful to you and will help you stay at home, and avoid hospital and residential care. Joanna Maxwell also speaks to case manager Deb Johnson who explains a little bit about what to expect from home care services and how home care packages can be used in unexpected ways.
