Mutkin Community Care Support at Home Program provides services to help you stay at home as long as possible by supporting your assessed needs. There are four levels of Support at Home which are designed to give you the care you need now, but can also be changed if your needs increase later.
We give you choice and flexibility in the way care and support is provided to you and arrange your home visiting schedule that’s is suited to your needs by the Community Care Service team.
Community and Family Life
At Mutkin, we believe it is vitally important to stay engaged with family life and the community. Our passionate team are committed to providing you with a range of activities for you to get involved with every day. Whatever your passion may be, or if there’s something you’re interested in that isn’t on offer, speak with our team who are always excited to hear new ideas and suggestions.
We have an activities planner with daily activities and programs and special occasions that are celebrated at least once each month. Family and friends are invited and encouraged to participate as much as possible in our lifestyle activities. These include cognitive activities including puzzles, cultural and spiritual activities, in-home concerts, day trips, movies, karaoke, NAIDOC activities, pamper days and exercise program. Mutkin also accommodates visiting groups from churches, schools, TAFE colleges, community groups and organisations internal and external to Yarrabah.
