Staying In Place Program
The Staying in Place Program is an innovative community approach that is making it possible for older people in rural and regional areas of Western Australia to stay living in their own home, in their own community.
It is a model that draws on ‘locals supporting locals’ through coordination from the Dalwallinu CRC and oversight of the approved aged care provider InCasa Country.
