Uniting Agewell

At Uniting AgeWell we believe that older people, like people of all ages, want to live in an environment of choice, empowerment and wellness – and to access support and care as they choose. Research indicates that people stay healthier when they are in control of their environment and can maintain community connections. AgeWell:

concentrates on what people can do, and seeks to connect people to their passions

focuses on supporting choice, independence and doing-with, rather than doing-for

promotes wellness for all clients, wherever they are on their life journey

pays careful attention to the spiritual and pastoral needs of clients, as well as their physical, intellectual, social and emotional needs

gives support and high quality clinical care when needed

AgeWell extends and connects all existing services. It follows the biological ageing journey and gives the client choice, autonomy, flexibility, and community.

The model has six components which focus on wellbeing and the promotion of independence.

AgeWell Connect: Connecting people to the whole of their community

AgeWell Being: Supporting wellbeing of body, mind and soul

AgeWell Assist: Assisting people with services to live at home

AgeWell Restore: Restoring wellbeing through therapy services

AgeWell Care: Providing respite and residential care

AgeWell Palliate: Providing support and spiritual guidance at the end of life

The model is designed to be flexible, enabling the recipient to determine what services they need and where those services will be delivered.
