Kate

The shift to Trilogy Care for my Mother has been made so simple. Everything was clearly explained, they are always there when they are needed. They are so helpful and efficient. Nothing is too much trouble. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them. I was the best decision I've made moving over to Trilogy Care. I will be forever grateful for their patience, help and understanding.

Andrew

I have had a very good experience in any dealings I have with trilogy care. The staff and company provide exceptional customer service. The aged care sector has been under a lot of pressure lately & I find it refreshing to see the quality of care & the government funding provided, utilised to provide older ones in our community with the people & devices needed to make life a little bit easier.

- Andrew

Jenny

Recently switched to self managing my and my husbands my age care package through Trilogy. This process was relatively easy with the advice, knowledge and patience of my support worker Jade Swift, being at the end of the phone when i needed advise, or would always return my calls if she wasn't available. Highly recommend the team. Gives us more of our package to be able to use on essential items, as not being eaten up in fees.

- Jenny

Janet

I am so pleased that I changed to Trilogy Care and to self­ managing my Level 3 Aged Care Package. The extra funds available to provide support is great, but the greatest thing is the boost to my self-esteem. I am able to use my skills. I am no longer being patronized. With Trilogy, I am in control again.

- Janet

Moira

I am finding Trilogy very helpful and attentive. I have a wonderful package care person, SOLONAIMA, who treats me like a real person which is so important as we age. For anyone looking to self manage I can thoroughly recommend Trilogy. Once signed up just take the time to get aqualinted with their system and things will go smoothly. Good Luck and enjoy mutual respect, with Trilogy.
