Aged care services
For almost 75 years, BSL has worked with older people living with disadvantage, creating safe spaces and providing services to maximise quality of life.
Through our Care at Home service, social connection hubs and residential care services, you can make choices about getting the care you need to live a healthy life and keep your independence.
How we work
- We believe that at every stage of life people should be safe, comfortable, valued and connected to the wider community.
- Through our holistic case management approach, we take the time to get to know you and tailor a plan to suit your individual preferences and circumstances.
- You drive the decisions. Whether you decide to stay in your home and receive support, live in independent living or live in one of our residential services, we’ll help you find the solution that works best.
- We use our extensive experience in the aged care sector to provide advice on your options, even if you don’t choose us.
- Our staff and volunteers welcome people, couples or families of any ethnicity, religious belief, cultural background, sexual orientation or gender identity.
