As we get older, we may require a little extra help around the home to live comfortably and safely in familiar surroundings. Many senior Australians prefer to continue living in the comfort of their own homes, amongst precious memories, for as long as possible.
To help you or your loved one remain safely at home, Care For Family provides tailored 24-hour aged care in Sydney and surrounding suburbs. Delivered by our team of experienced, compassionate care workers and Registered Nurses (RNs), our around-the-clock support offers a full suite of services. We cater to your every need, preserving independence and providing complete peace of mind for your family.
When You Might Need 24-Hour Care at Home
24-hour aged care provides continuous, active support for individuals experiencing complex medical needs, advanced dementia, or those recovering from surgery or illness. It is a highly effective alternative to residential nursing homes, allowing you or your loved one to remain safely within familiar surroundings.
The need for around-the-clock care can arise suddenly. It may be necessary for a limited time, such as recovering after a recent injury or hospital stay, before transitioning to a reduced level of care, or it can be an ongoing solution for those with more complex, long-term health requirements.
You might consider arranging 24-hour in-home care if your loved one is:
- Living with advanced Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, where wandering or confusion can pose a safety risk.
- Managing a disability where assistance with daily tasks is required, or recovering from an illness or operation, and requiring consistent medical monitoring.
- Choosing to maintain independence and lifestyle at home, rather than transitioning to an aged care facility.
High Care and Complex Support at Home
High care provides intensive clinical and personal support for individuals with complex health conditions, allowing them to remain safely at home. This advanced 24-hour care includes assistance with daily tasks, wound management, medication assistance, and specialised nursing oversight to preserve comfort and independence.
High care (sometimes called ‘high-level supports’) is a crucial service for people who require more than standard domestic assistance due to chronic health conditions, disability, or advanced age. For many families, arranging high care at home ensures you or your loved one receives comprehensive support without needing to transition to a residential facility. Our Registered Nurses and professional care teams are able to assist with:
- Complex medical needs: Professional support, including managing a stoma, PEG feeding, and continence care.
- Clinical care: Safe assistance with medication regimes, plus dedicated wound and pressure care.
- Daily personal care: Respectful assistance with dressing, bathing, grooming, and eating, whilst maintaining dignity.
By bringing this level of clinical support directly to you, we help your loved one maintain their autonomy and daily routines in a setting that is familiar and comfortable.
How 24-hour care works
24-hour care means a hand-picked familiar care team working awake shifts, so there is someone active in the home at every hour, including through the night. Care workers go home at the end of a shift and another team member takes over.
Care For Family does not provide live-in care, where one care worker sleeps in the home overnight. If you are weighing the two up, see live-in care in Sydney and the 24-hour alternative we provide.
Costs and Funding for 24-Hour Aged Care in NSW
The cost of 24-hour aged care depends on the specific clinical and personal support required. Care For Family provides transparent, tailored quotes with no hidden set-up or exit fees.
Our in-home aged care solutions are available at hourly or flat rates, meaning you only pay for the care delivered. Our services are highly flexible, allowing you to retain full control over your care budget.
Maximising Government Funding: If your loved one is aged over 65 and requires active support, they may be eligible for a government-subsidised Support At Home Package (formerly Home Care Package [HCP]) following an ACAT assessment. Alternatively, if you require support for an existing disability, you can apply to become an NDIS participant. We can help you navigate this funding and seamlessly integrate it with private top-up hours to ensure your loved one receives comprehensive 24/7 support.
Why Sydney Families Choose Care For Family
Bringing care into the home is a major decision. It is often resisted by individuals who naturally fear a loss of independence for themselves or their loved ones.
