Autism Home Care Services Sydney

Just like any other kind of disability, the symptoms and types of care required can vary greatly for those with autism. Some of the most common symptoms experienced by people with autism include:

• Social communication and interaction challenges such as difficulty maintaining eye contact, difficulty interpreting and understanding emotions in others, trouble with social cues, and challenges relating to others.
• Restricted or repetitive behaviours or interests such as body rocks or ticks, trouble adapting to change, the need for strict routines, being upset by minor changes, obsessive routines, sensitivity to loud noises, and unusual mood or emotional responses.
• Other symptoms such as delayed language skills, delayed movement skills, delayed cognitive or learning skills, hyperactive, impulsive, and/or inattentive behaviour, epilepsy or seizure disorder, unusual eating and sleeping habits, gastrointestinal issues (for example, constipation), unusual mood or emotional reactions, anxiety, stress, or excessive worry, lack of fear or more fear than expected.

 These symptoms can make living with autism challenging for both the person themselves and their family, friends, and community. However, with compassion, understanding, and education, we can help to ease these symptoms.

For those living with more severe autism, living at home can be a challenge without the proper assistance. Care For Family offers 24-hour or ‘live-in’ autism home care services for those who require around-the-clock help to live happily and safely at home.

Whether in the family home or living independently, our 24-hour autism home care services help our clients with autism with everything from washing and grooming, to doing the groceries, making it to doctors’ appointments, taking medication, cleaning the house, cooking, and more.

Domestic assistance care from Care For Family can help with the daily tasks around the home that might be difficult for someone with autism. This type of care might include a few hours a week of care to get things like the cooking and cleaning done, for example.

Our care solutions can be tailored to suit the needs of your loved one with autism, based on their care needs and the extra support you might need around the house.

Respite care is a lifeline for many families of those living with a disability, including autism.

While many families take on a caring role for their loved one, there will come a time when the family needs a break for work, school holidays, some downtime, or simply requires some extra assistance.

Respite autism home care services from Care For Family can be there if and when you need us, even at short notice.

We understand that our clients’ needs change over time. Whether your loved one requires overnight care to ensure they’re safe in their own home throughout the evenings, or simply an hour here or there for some extra support, Care For Family can help.

Our overnight and hourly autism home care services are as flexible as you need them to be.

Unfortunately, those living with autism often experience secondary conditions that mean they need some extra help from a nurse.

Here at Care For Family, our team includes registered nurses, who are available to support those who need help with things like taking medication, monitoring physical conditions or injuries, dressing wounds, and more.

These autism home care services from our registered nurses help our clients to remain at home, safely, even when experiencing injury or illness.
