Japanese-speaking support for your parents in Melbourne

Are you looking for a Japanese-speaking support worker for your elderly parents in Melbourne?

If your parents are more comfortable speaking Japanese, finding a support worker who understands their language, culture and way of life can make a real difference to their comfort, confidence and independence. For some older people living with dementia, English may become more difficult to understand or communicate in, while Japanese remains more familiar. Having a Japanese-speaking support worker can help your parent feel more comfortable, understood and at ease.

HIKARU CARE SERVICES AUSTRALIA provides Japanese and English-speaking home care and support for seniors and their families in Melbourne.

Japanese-Speaking Aged Care & Home Support in Melbourne

1. Your mum or dad built a life in Australia. Now they need a little help.

Your parents may have spent many years building their life in Australia. Now they may need some help at home with everyday activities or getting connected with aged care services. But if English is difficult for them, you may not know where to start.

You're not alone. I'm here to help in Japanese and English.

2. My Aged Care — understanding the first step

Finding your way through My Aged Care can feel complicated, especially when you're trying to help your parents. I can support you and your parent through the My Aged Care process, explaining what to expect and helping you understand each step in Japanese and English.

3. When the language barrier becomes even more important

For some bilingual older people living with dementia, their first language may become more familiar as their condition progresses. This can make communication with support workers more difficult, especially when they need care, reassurance and understanding. Being able to communicate in Japanese can help your parent feel heard, respected and comfortable.
