Our home health services include:

• Domestic Assistance: Our domestic support services specialize in assisting a person in keeping a clean and comfortable home. Our services may include general cleaning, laundry, bed making, and other household chores. By removing some of the everyday chores from the client, they become more confident in having a safe and clean home without stress or worry. We meet with the individual client on a one-to-one basis to find out what their individual needs, schedule, and preference are, and this enables us to arrange an individualized plan that best suits them.
• Personal Care: Personal care is a central aspect of our services, especially for those who would struggle to carry out personal needs such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and hygiene. Our caregivers are trained to provide respectful, dignified support to assist people with personal care with sensitivity. Whether it is a need for daily hygiene or mobility support, our team is committed to enabling as much personal independence as possible along with maintaining the person’s safety and comfort.
• Home and Garden Maintenance: Home maintenance poses a big hassle to people with a disease or disability. Our home and garden maintenance services cater to eliminate the hassle of jobs like weeding, cutting the grass, and minor repairs. Our services differ to maintain your home and garden in the most optimal way so that it becomes a relaxation area for our clients.
• Appointments Transportation: We acknowledge that transportation is an obstacle to a visit to a medical appointment, a social outing, or other appointment. Our transportation allows our clients to travel to and return home safely and on time.

Apart from our normal home care, we also offer a range of specialist care services to people with special medical or care needs. These services cater to complicated or sophisticated health situations, giving the client the most appropriate care for the situation.

• Nursing Care: Our skilled nurses are trained to provide a wide range of medical services in the home, including wound treatment, medication management, and health checks. Our nursing services are most appropriate for people with chronic disease, post-surgical recovery, or acute illness that requires a continued level of medical attention but would prefer to remain in the home.
• Respite Care and Short-Term Care: Carers do require a respite and a moment to recharge, and respite care gives the support in that respite. Our short-term services provide temporary respite to family caregivers such that the loved ones they look after have the support they need as they take a moment to recharge. For a short period of a few hours or a few days, we step in with gentle, professional support in that respite.
• Palliative Care: For the clients with life-limiting diseases, the purpose of palliative care is to alleviate suffering and pain and enhance the quality of the life remaining. Staff members are trained to give caring service that is centred on the client’s and the family’s comfort, dignity, and mental health.
• Dementia: Dementia home care is a highly skilled area of home care that requires an individualized response to the unique needs of individuals with dementia. Our caregivers have the necessary skills to assist with memory loss, communications, and daily living, to leave our clients feeling safe, calm, and engaged. We also guide families on the optimal method of handling dementia issues.

Choosing the Most Appropriate Home Care Service for Your Requirement

Choosing the most appropriate home provider is an important decision that will have an impact on your quality of life and that of your family. When choosing a provider, various issues have to be considered, ranging from the nature of the care to the quality of services provided by the provider. Most important is the selection of a provider who is versatile and capable of adapting to the changing needs of the client.

Look for a provider with the ability to offer a wide range of services to meet all of your needs. Learn that the provider also specializes in giving care to your particular condition or requirement, such as personal care, nursing, or respite.

Apart from that, it is also important that the provider is respectful and understanding of your needs and your privacy. Home care is always an intimate experience, and you need to feel relaxed and confident with the caregivers who will attend to your needs.

Our home carers

As a registered home care provider in Bankstown, we pride ourselves on the delivery of quality care personally suited to the unique needs of our individual clients. Our home carers form the core of our service, and we hire them for professionalism, empathy, and experience. We have a rigorous recruitment process for all of our carers, including background checks and thorough training, to ascertain that they possess the capacity to provide quality, reliable support to our clients.

Our team consists of a multidisciplinary group of nurses, personal support workers, as well as allied health professionals. With this, we have the capacity to assign the clients with the right carers as requested by the individual. If you require personal care, domestic support, or medical treatment, we have the professionals with the relevant capabilities to assist.

Our home carers are more than workers—these people are valued colleagues who work together with families and clients to provide the best possible results of caring. Our team knows that the client-carer relationship is paramount, and our personnel complete a pledge to build firm, professional relationships. Our home carers learn to respect the individual that they support, taking the time to listen to needs and wants.

We recognize that the needs of the person being supported will change over a period of time, and therefore we offer flexible services to cater to changing needs of the clients. Our short-term and long-term support is offered by the carers, and continuity of support is also ensured by placing regular carers with a particular client. The clients feel relaxed and secure knowing that the same professional carers will take care of them on a daily basis.

Most importantly, our home carers specialize in enabling individuals to live independently and in comfort in their own home. We feel honoured to be allowed into the life of our client, to supply the care and support that the individual requires in order to live life to the fullest in their home. Our carers try to promote independence, dignity, and general wellbeing, and offer a positive, caring environment that enhances the life of the person they share it with.

Home Care Funding Options

We also understand that home care funding is complicated to deal with, and our team is here to assist and guide you through it. They have funding options that depend on your level of eligibility as well as your individual situations. They include government and non-government funding.

Government Supported

Home Care Packages

Home Care Packages (HCP) is a government-funded scheme to support older Australians who want to stay in the home they have but with the level of care they require in the familiarity of home. Packages are provided to those who have undergone an assessment of requiring care and include a variety of services such as personal care, domestic support, and more intensive care such as rehabilitation and nurse visits.

There exist four levels of home care packages, varying with the level of care one needs:

• Level 1: Basic needs
• Level 2: Low level needs.
• Level 3: Intermediate level of need.
• Level 4: High level needs of care.

They all have a budget allocated to them, and this is assigned in relation to the level of care they need. They have the decision as to what services they would like to have and who they feel most suited to provide that. We assist the clients in the application process, providing the guidance that they require to have the correct funding to access the appropriate level of care.

NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme)

Another government-funded scheme, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), is one that also gives money to those with a disability. The NDIS exists to provide people with the money they require to achieve the support and services that enhance their quality of life, social participation, and independence.

Through the NDIS, eligible participants receive funding for home care services such as personal support, domestic support, and therapies. The NDIS is very flexible, and the funding is designed to suit the individual participant’s needs and goals. Whatever you need help with in terms of daily tasks or more specific support, the NDIS will have you covered with the support you need to remain comfortably and independently in your home.

We are a registered NDIS provider and provide individualized support to individuals with disability across Bankstown and the surrounding area. We consult with the NDIS participants to develop unique personal care plans that address the needs and aspirations of the individuals, so that they have the optimal level of support.

Non-Government Fund

Private home caret: For those who do not qualify for publicly funded care or prefer to pay the services privately, private home care is a good alternative. Private home care allows clients to pay privately for the services, with more input and decision-making authority on how they have their needs attended to.

Private home care could involve a wide range of services such as personal care, respite care, nursing care, and companions. Private home care is selected by the clients if they require more than the level of care that is available through government-funded programs, or if they want to have it provided earlier without having to wait for approval.

We provide competitive home care rates for private home care and work with each client to develop personalized care plans that address the client’s needs and budget. If you require assistance with activities of daily living or have more complicated needs, we provide the support that you require.

What’s the next step?

If you’re researching home care services, the first step is to identify your needs and the most suitable funding available to you. Our specialists will guide you through the process, if you’re submitting an application for government-funded support or paying out of pocket for services.
