Domiciliary Care Services

Domiciliary care, or at-home care, is for anyone who needs assistance living at home – whether that’s older people finding it more difficult to manage day-to-day tasks, individuals living with a disability, or someone receiving treatment or recovering from an illness or injury. 

Many Australians find it difficult to reach out for help, particularly as they get older. Although care homes and other residential care facilities provide the support needed, the idea of moving out of your or your loved one’s home may simply not be desirable.

Domiciliary care allows you or your loved one to remain in the home, for as long as desired (and possible), and maintain a familiar quality of life. Some of the other benefits of domiciliary care include:

• Maintaining independence
• Remaining in your own home for as long as possible
• Ensuring day-to-day tasks are taken care of
• Preventing injury and illness
• Monitoring of medications and treatments
• Providing companionship and comfort, and preventing isolation
• Enabling you to maintain social connections outside the home
• Ensuring healthy eating habits with meal preparation and cooking
• Personalised one-to-one care from a small, trusted team of domiciliary care workers
• Flexibility to work around your routines, schedule, and preferences
• Reducing pressure on loved ones
• Financial benefits in receiving only the care you need, often subsidised by the Australian government
