About MyCDC™

---

Aged care consumers deserve the right to choose what they do, how & with whom

to make informed choices about care & services, and to live the life they choose.

The Australian government recognises this right in the new aged care standards of July 2019.

Standard 1 is a foundation standard which requires providers to deliver & show evidence of how they provide dignity, respect, information, choice & independence to consumers.

This will require many providers to shift how they deliver services.

 MyCDC™ is a researched & trialled model of care that puts relationships & consumer choice at the heart of services in a communal setting. It assists providers to maintain a quality of care where consumers are in the forefront of what happens during their lives on a daily basis. 

It is the answer to the most basic human needs we all experience.  How often have you heard:

❖ Changes are here – are you ready?

❖  Are you listening to me? Really?

❖  Do you know what I really want?

❖  Can your culture and service model meet my preferences, and support  me to live the way I choose?

We provide a complete system to operate Consumer Directed Care in a residential care setting. The system includes:

- How Engagement is conducted;

- How Services are provided;

- How Financial management is achieved that benefits the consumer and the provider.

The MyCDC™  system is implemented in 3 stages:

1 - A six month pilot (in part of the residential care facility) to tailor the system to your needs - what works and what doesn't;

2 - The roll out of the system across the whole facility;

3 - Embedding the system in practice and changing the culture.

The benefits include a system where residents and families are happy and in staff that are motivated. The organisation is able to provide the services required and operate in a financially sustainable manner.
