Case Study: Vincenza

At the age of 87, Vincenza radiates resilience and joy. Proving that with the right support, independence and happiness can be achieved at any age.

Living with chronic pain, migraines and other health concerns, Vincenza previously struggled with everyday tasks and enjoy life. Through Co.As.It.’s compassionate and culturally responsive support services, she enjoys greater independence and the freedom to live life her way.

Vincenza’s Coordinator works closely with her in her preferred language, ensuring her care plan always reflects her needs and choices. From coordinating nursing and allied health support to helping with her weekly outings, every aspect of her care is planned to keep her well, safe and connected.

Vincenza treasures the time she spends with her Care Worker, at home, on shopping trips, pharmacy errands and even a coffee at her local café. Simple moments that bring companionship, laughter and joy to her days.

Twice a week, she early waits for the Co.As.It. minibus to arrive and take her to Casa Serena (Social Group Activity Centre) where she enjoys the day with her friends. It’s a place where her friends have become like family and every day feels like a little celebration.

Regular visits from nurses, physiotherapists and occupational therapists as needed help maintain Vincenza’s mobility and wellbeing, ensuring she can continue living independently at home.

Together with her family, Vincenza is very grateful for the care and support that makes her life brighter, safer and meaningful.

“Simple moments that bring companionship, laughter and joy to her days.”
