Home Care Services to Keep You Independent
Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) Perth
CHSP provides entry-level support for people aged 65 and over (or 50 and over for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people) who can live at home but need a little assistance with everyday tasks.
If you’re finding some daily activities challenging and believe a bit of extra help could boost your health and wellbeing, CHSP might be the ideal solution. It’s also a great short-term option if you’re recovering from an illness or returning home after a hospital stay.
