Participant case studies
Learn about some of our participants and their loved ones. What they needed, what mattered to them, and how we helped them along the way.
Sarah
After a six-month hospital stay, Sarah sought a provider to help her navigate the challenges of mental health and rediscover her goals and ambitions.
Care & Connects facilitated a smooth transition from the hospital and, with the support of our dedicated psychosocial team, Sarah is gaining confidence and building skills through educational courses.
Despite the ups and downs of living with a mental health diagnosis, the collaborative care and customised planning provided by Care & Connects are helping Sarah have more better days and make progress towards her goals.
Paul
Paul took on the guardianship role for his younger brother, joining their other sibling in one of our Supported Independent Living (SIL) houses.
The transition was a significant shift from the hospital care Paul’s brother was accustomed to, but we worked hard to help him adapt.
We collaborated closely with Paul to help him manage the complexities of the NDIS, including introducing him to a new support coordinator from an external organisation and unwaveringly continuing support even during funding challenges.
With a welcoming environment, the right nutrition and a consistent, caring team, Paul’s brother’s wellbeing has significantly improved. Despite the challenging disease affecting him, his SIL house has become a true home.
Dennis and Pam
After Dennis’s stroke, he and his wife Pam faced major lifestyle changes. Dennis required extensive care, making daily tasks challenging for Pam.
Rejecting the idea of nursing home care due to its impact on Dennis’s mental health, they turned to Care & Connects for help.
We provided Dennis with a personalised care routine, with a dedicated team visiting three times daily.
“They make everything as good as it can be for Dennis and have become an integral support in our lives.”
