What is SAH?

Support at Home (short SAH) is a new program that provides early intervention care for older people. It aims at keeping you independent by reversing and/or slowing functional health decline. Its ultimate goal is to help recipients regain their autonomy and to prevent them from relying on long-term care.

The SAH is delivered in the form of a tailored, multidisciplinary package of services. These include physiotherapy, social work, nursing support, personal care, and the provision of new technologies that make your life easier.

The SAH service can be delivered at Martin Luther Homes’ facilities in Melbourne’s East or in the comfort of your own home.

How is SAH financed?

A range of services is financed by the Federal Government, and if you are eligible, you are expected to contribute to the costs, if you can afford to do so.
