Benefits of In-home Care

Over the past few years, more older adults are choosing to live at home for as long as possible. However, many older adults often require some extra assistance to continue living at home for as long as possible. To address these needs, many older adults are beginning to turn to home care packages to help them stay at home.

At Home Care Assistance SE Melbourne, we offer a range of support services to assist older adults to continue living at home for as long as possible. Some of the support services that we offer include:

• Assistance with personal care tasks such as bathing, toileting and meal preparation
• Assistance with domestic tasks such as laundry and light housework
• Social supports such as in-home respite participation in leisure activities
• Community engagement such as shopping and transport to medical appointments

To determine if you or your loved one is eligible for in-home care, fill out the application form at https://www.myagedcare.gov.au/ or call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422. At Home Care Assistance SE Melbourne, we can assist you with understanding the process of accessing home care package subsidies.

After you have been assigned a Home Care Package, our care managers work with you to develop a care plan to assist you to continue living independently and safely in your own environment.
