Pittwater Life September 2017 Issue

Trusted advice still close
There’s no doubt navigating
the complex health,
disability or aged care
systems is confusing – which
is why it’s important to know
there are services available
that can provide fast, free,
unbiased information, advice
and guidance.
For almost a quarter of a century
the not-for-profit, non-religious
organisation Community
Care Northern Beaches (CCNB)
has been supporting older
people, people with a disability,
mental illness and dementia,
indigenous people – and their
carers to maximise their independence
and wellbeing.
Now settled into new premises
just up the road in Frenchs
Forest, the CCNB team are assuring
Pittwater residents they
will continue their mission to
enable people to live independently
in their own home
and get the most out of life
by providing impartial advice,
information, guidance, referral
and support covering:
n Home (aged) Care;
n Dementia Care;
n NDIS Support Coordination;
n Mental Health; and
n Families and Carers
CCNB’s care coordination
service helps to match and
connect people to the right government-subsided
and privately
funded support services and
helps them get the best out of
the disability, health and aged
care systems.
The organisation also
hosts a number of free events
throughout the year to help
arm the community with the
latest information on health
issues including mental health
and dementia (CCNB is highly
regarded for its expertise in
memory loss and dementia
and its impacts on the individual,
partners, family and
friends) and changes to health
and social care systems such
as the NDIS and aged care.
It also provides wonderful
support to the carers in our
community.
