Why Home Safety matters
Simple fixes—grab bars, brighter lights—prevent many injuries and enable aging in place.
Low-cost, high-impact changes installed correctly, with the person’s habits in mind (favorite chair, night bathroom path).
Our approach
We do a short walkthrough, list hazards, recommend prioritized changes, and coordinate trusted installers when needed.
Safety first
We don’t do structural work ourselves. Anything electrical/structural goes to qualified trades. Urgent hazards are flagged immediately.
Shopping Assistance – Groceries, personal items
File purpose
Plan, shop, and put away groceries and essentials—respecting budgets, preferences, and health guidance.
Why it matters
Stocking the right foods and supplies supports nutrition, hygiene, and peace of mind.
Good Shopping
A simple list, smart substitutions, labelled storage, and receipts saved for transparency.
Our approach
We set up recurring lists, align with meal plans, check expiry dates, and avoid heavy bulk packaging that’s hard to lift.
Safety first
We don’t handle bank PINs or cash without an agreed process. We report shortages (meds, continence supplies) early.
Technology Support – Phones, tablets, emergency alert systems
File purpose
Set up and practice using phones, tablets, video calls, medication reminders, and personal emergency response devices.
Why it matters
Technology reduces isolation, supports safety, and simplifies care coordination—if it’s easy to use.
Good Tech Support
Large fonts, simple home screens, written prompts, and practice at the person’s pace.
Our approach
We configure devices, test alerts, add trusted contacts, and practice “what if” drills (call daughter, press help button).
Safety first
We protect privacy, use strong passcodes, and never store banking details. False alarms are de-escalated with your protocol.
EMERGENCY-HELP
File purpose
A clear, rehearsed plan for urgent symptoms or safety events—who to call, what to say, and what to have ready.
Why it matters
In an emergency, seconds count. Preparedness reduces panic and errors.
Good Emergency Help
Up-to-date contact sheets, medication lists, and address landmarks by the phone; practiced steps in plain language.
Our approach
We agree on triggers, rehearse brief call scripts, stage a “go folder,” and document past events to learn and improve.
Safety first
We never delay calling emergency services when criteria are met. We follow your clinician’s standing instructions.
REMOTE-ACCESS-ASSISTANCE
File purpose
With consent, remote check-ins and guidance via phone/video—useful between in-person visits or for family at a distance.
Why it matters
Small issues can be solved early; reassurance is available without travel; routines stay on track.
Good Remote Support
Short, focused sessions with clear goals—“check meds box,” “confirm lunch made”—plus privacy respected at all times.
Our approach
We schedule brief calls, confirm identity, use simple visual cues (show device screen, show fridge list), and record action items.
Safety first
We don’t diagnose or direct medical care remotely. Any risk cues (confusion, breathlessness, falls) trigger your local escalation plan.
JSON modules (drop-in files, one per module)
How to use:
Save each block as its own file in /gr/Eldercare-zips/common/modules/ (AU).
Example: daily-personal-hygiene.json, daily-dressing-assistance.json, etc.
Fields align with your current data attributes. Adjust service if needed.
For NZ or other regions, duplicate and change "country" to "NZ" (or leave "ALL" and infer from path).
The blurb object holds the narrative sections used by STS.

If you want, I can split these into filenames exactly as you’d like (e.g., DAILY-HYGIENE-DEMO-LIMITED.json) and adjust data-module_id to match your existing strings 1:1. Just say the word and I’ll output the exact set for all 12 (AU first, then a copied set for NZ).
