When changes in health or ability affect daily life, our Occupational Therapy program supports people to remain independent by recommending practical supports, modifications and equipment to make everyday tasks easier.
Understanding aged care can be overwhelming. We listen carefully and help people find the right in-home support for their needs and daily life, or residential aged care when independent living is no longer possible.
A safe home is the foundation for ageing well. We help older people find stable, long-term housing and provide the support they need to feel secure and settled.
When a home becomes hard to manage, we help people downsize and move into a home that feels safer and easier to manage, and suits their needs for the stage of life they are in. Each step is planned with care, patience and understanding.
We work gently and respectfully with clients who are living in hoarding or squalor conditions. We make homes safer and more manageable, and together create environments that support wellbeing, dignity and peace of mind.
Elder Folks supports older Australians across NSW to navigate later life with confidence. We provide aged care guidance, housing support, occupational therapy services, and assistance with downsizing and home transitions. Our approach is practical and respectful, focused on safety, independence, wellbeing, and informed choice.
Mary Baumann founded our organisation (originally Aged Care Placement Services) to bring clarity and compassion to older Australians navigating the complex aged care system. Her vision continues to guide Elder Folks as a place where advocacy comes first, where every person is treated as an individual, and where older Australians are supported to build better lives and brighter futures, on their own terms.
