About the Team

Lagoona Home & Community Care operates from the Clermont Multi-Purpose Health Service campus 5 days a week. Lagoona provides a flexible and coordinated range of practical consumer directed care services, such as Domestic Assistance, Personal Care, Community Nursing, Transport and Social Support. Consumers 65 years and over or Indigenous consumers 50 years and over, are eligible for the Commonwealth Home Support Program which they can access by being registered and screened by My Aged Care.

The service is designed to promote consumer independence by doing only those tasks that the consumer is unable to do for themselves, thereby preventing premature admission to residential aged care facilities.
