Home Care

ECA Home Care

In response to government policy geared toward providing assistance to people to remain living in their own homes as long as possible, Echuca Community for the Aged has recently established ECA Home Care to deliver care and services to people in their own homes. 

In the short-term this service will target residents of our independent and assisted living units but may later be extended to the broader Echuca Moama community.

Services available under our home care package depends on the individual needs of residents. ECA Home Care works with individuals to understand their needs and identify goals to support them to live a more independent and active life.
