Care Finder
Together we can end homelessness
Your support helps transform the lives of people experiencing homelessness. Through your kindness, people can leave the streets behind and rebuild their lives.
As a Care Finder organisation, Hutt St Centre links people to practical assistance for vulnerable older individuals who are unable to independently arrange the services they need and lack support from family or friends.
Services offered through Care Finder include:
- Personalised assistance: One-on-one meetings to understand individual situations and develop tailored support plans.
- Aged care navigation: Guidance through the process of accessing aged care services, including communication with My Aged Care, arranging assessments, and selecting providers.
- Form completion: Assistance with paperwork and understanding service agreements.
- Ongoing support: Regular check-ins to ensure services are meeting needs and to address any challenges.
- Community connections: Linking individuals to additional supports such as health services, housing assistance, and community groups.
