We operate on the basis of person-centred services where our services are created to respond to the unique needs and preferences of each person to live independently and with dignity and respect.
At the heart of our services is the team of experienced professionals who will support clients through each step of their care journey. Whether it is with the day-to-day activities or providing specialist clinical care, our friendly staff members will always stand ready to provide that extra helping hand. We aim to make it possible for people to live as independently as is practicable while enjoying the reassurance of knowing that whatever the needs are, the necessary care and support will always be provided.
We understand that every person’s needs are individualized and that is the reason why we offer comprehensive services ranging from basic domestic care to complicated clinical care. With safety, comfort, and quality of life in mind at the top of our list of considerations, our services are adaptable and modifiable as needs change.
We attempt to make the life of the residents of Carlingford more convenient, independent, and well attended to in their own homes with our broad portfolio of services.
At our core, we are committed to providing empathetic, professional, and reliable home care services to the entirety of Carlingford. We understand that each person has his own special needs and wants and therefore tailor our services to suit his needs so that each client is provided with the best quality of care in his own home. Whether it is assistance with activities of daily living or provision of specialized care to manage chronic diseases, our aim is to enhance the quality of life of our clients while maintaining their independence and dignity.
Our carer services at Carlingford cover the full spectrum of needs from companionship and respite to domestic support and personal care. Whether you require support with domestic activities like washing and bathing, clothing and dressing up, and mobility support, or domestic support with cleaning, cooking, and laundry, we are here to support you. We are committed to bringing you and your family members the highest quality of care while establishing the best friendly and dignified environment.
We also provide care to those with special medical conditions, like dementia, Parkinson’s, and diabetes. We have experience providing medication management support, health condition monitoring, and special one-on-one care to assist clients in managing their symptoms. This is aimed at providing each individual with care that is specific to their medicinal and individual needs.
We offer respite care to families that are giving care to their loved ones with special needs to give the principal caregivers that relief so dearly needed with the guarantee that their loved ones are in good care. We offer short-term and long-term respite care with the flexibility to adapt to the needs of the caregiving issues.
We are committed to the creation of a care plan that not only addresses current needs but also addresses long-term health needs. We work very closely with clients and families to ensure that our services adapt to changing needs on an ongoing basis and continue to promote comfort and reassurance.
We know the importance of staying connected to the community and so our services are incorporated within the community of Carlingford to the utmost extent. Whether going along with clients to local appointments, going on social outings, or just going out on the streets of the local area, we keep our clients connected to the community and included. It is this comprehensive degree of integration that truly impacts the improvement of our clients’ overall well-being and provides that feeling of belonging and purpose.
Picking the right home care provider is a very serious decision that requires careful consideration. Searching for the right provider in Carlingford requires you to look for people that would suit your needs, your principles, and your idea of care. Even if many providers exist, our belief is that the best provider is someone that is genuinely interested in hearing about your unique situation and delivering personalized solutions.
The first consideration when selecting a provider is to examine what services they provide. Home care agencies will have specializations in anything from personal care to chronic disease management to companionship. You should make sure the provider you select provides the services you require, and that the services provided are broad enough to accommodate changing needs over the course of the relationship. We take pride in providing extensive services ranging from basic to highly advanced care so that our clients always receive the care that is required.
Another consideration is the quality and experience of staff. We use experienced and trained carers and our carers understand the nuances of providing care at home. We ensure that our staff are not only properly qualified but also kind, empathetic, and respectful. Not so much a case of skill – more of building up a relationship of trust and familiarity between our staff and our clients.
Furthermore, communication is a major factor in whatever home care plan you choose. Your provider of choice should be available and responsive to your needs. We pride ourselves on open communication to clients and families, and this makes them knowledgeable and involved in the care process. We collaborate with clients, families, and healthcare professionals to create a care plan that includes the client’s personal preferences and health needs.
Last but not least, a quality home care provider will provide flexibility in services, adapting to your changing needs. Whether you require a few hours of assistance each week or round-the-clock care, we provide flexible arrangements that enable our clients to get the amount of care they need, when they need it.
At Carlingford home care, we stand as the first choice among many because of the numerous factors that make us the best. Simply put, our goal is to provide excellent, empathetic and personalized care that enhances the quality of life of our care recipients. Here’s why you can trust us
We are Flexible
Life is unpredictable, and your care needs may change over time. That’s why flexibility is at the heart of our services. We understand that each individual’s needs are different and that they can evolve as time goes on. Whether you need help for just a few hours a week or require full-time, round-the-clock care, we are adaptable and can provide care that meets your exact requirements. Our services can be adjusted quickly to fit changing circumstances, ensuring that you always have the support you need.
We are personal
We believe that truly great care is not just about meeting the physical needs – it’s about learning about you as a person. We take the trouble to learn about you, your interests and dislikes, your wishes and your dreams. This personal touch in the way we do things allows us to make you feel at home and at ease, and you can maintain your independence and dignity. We are not here to assist you; we are here to assist you in living your life.
We are Professionals
We employ staff with years of experience providing home care services. We’ve worked with clients of the complete gamut of needs, from the elderly that require assistance with the simplest of day-to-day activities to clients with challenging medical needs. With that kind of experience on our plates, we feel we can handle even the most challenging cases and adapt our strategy to suit the needs of each and every client. With us on board, you know that your care is in the hands of experienced and competent professionals.
We Are Enabling
Empowerment is at the core of everything that we do. We seek to empower our clients to maintain their independence and feel in control of their own life. We plan our services not only to care for you but to empower you to live life to your best, pursue your interests, and remain active and engaged. We are here to empower you to continue living the life that you want to live on your own terms.
We are in our service to make use of the services of professional and empathetic carers to our staff at the heart of the care that we offer in Carlingford. We employ professional workers who bring experience and empathy to every contact to facilitate our clients to achieve the quality of care at the comfort of their own homes.
All of our carers are carefully screened on the basis of qualifications, experience, and commitment to the provision of respectful and person-centred care. We understand that each person is unique in his/her needs, and our carers learn to attend to the needs of each person. Whether it is assistance with activities of daily living, condition and medication management, or companionship, our carers are on hand to make life easier, safer, and more enjoyable to our clients.
Our carers undergo comprehensive background checks and regular training to keep up with the latest best practices in domiciliary care. We also check that they are fully certified and competent to the required regulatory standards. Beyond the technical aspects, we hire carers who love to make a difference to the lives of other individuals. Not only are our carers technically competent but also nice people who treat each client with respect and dignity.
We recognize the value of continuity of care and whenever possible attempt to use the same carers on our clients. This allows trust to build and our clients to feel relaxed and secure. We also ensure that our carers keep families and other healthcare practitioners informed so that our care plans are reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis to adapt to the changing needs of the client.
In addition to personal and physical care, our carers also offer emotional support. We recognize the challenges that may be linked to ill health, disability, or aging, and our carers offer a listening ear and companionship to alleviate feelings of loneliness and enhance the emotional well-being of our clients. Above all, our goal is to make our clients feel valued, supported, and empowered to live their life with dignity.
We know that it may be challenging to work through the funding streams for home care services, but we are here to guide you through the process. Whether you are eligible to receive government-funded programs or considering private funding, we are dedicated to helping you access the most appropriate care within your budget. We work with our clients to review the funding streams available to them so that they can make informed decisions that are right for their personal circumstances.
Two of the core government-funded schemes to provide support to individuals of Carlingford requiring home care services are Home Care Packages and the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
Home Care Packages
Home Care Packs are given to persons 65 years and over (or 50 years and over if the person is Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander). The packs support the continued independence of the aging Australians at home as long as it is feasible. The amounts of the funds are given based on the assessment of the client and are used to support the provision of wide-ranging services ranging from personal care to nursing care, support of daily living activities, and social support. The amount of the funds varies based on the care intensity required and the levels of the care offered ranging from the basic support to high-level care needs.
As registered providers, we can guide you through the application process so that all of the assessments that are needed are done, and we can advise you on how to spend your funding in the best way. Our aim is to enable you to remain in control of your care and receive the services that you require to enable you to live comfortably at home.
NDIS (Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme)
The NDIS offers the youth under 65 with permanent disability the funds to undergo support and services to enable the individuals to live independently. The NDIS is tailored to each person’s needs and objectives, and the funds are given based on the participant’s needs and objectives. This could encompass the provision of daily living aid, therapy, personal assistance, and so forth.
We assist NDIS members in creating individualized care plans according to their needs and objectives so that they can utilize the services to help them in their quality of life. We are NDIS registered providers and collaborate with the members and their families to achieve the best from the services.
Other than government-funded programs, there are also individuals who would rather pay privately for services at home. Private home care gives you greater flexibility in the type of service you need and how often you need the services. Regardless of whether you require the help on a short-term or long-term basis, you can make use of the services of private home care to fit your preference and needs.
Private care provides you with more control over the care provided and the freedom to initiate a change to the care arrangement without having to wait for government assessment. Private home care is also the best choice if you are not eligible for government funding, or you need the care immediately.
If you are considering Carlingford home care, the initial step is to conduct an honest evaluation of your requirements and determine the sources of finance which may be payable to you. Whether you wish to avail yourself of government-subsidized home care or pay from your own resources, we will assist you each step of the way.
The first step is to contact us to arrange a free consultation. During the consultation, we discuss your personal care requirements, interests, and dreams. If you’re seeking government-funded care, we will explain to you the NDIS or Home Care Packages assessment process, including the eligibility requirements and offering you the paperwork you need. If you’re seeking privately funded care, we will help you develop your care plan according to your needs.
We will visit with you when you are funded and build you a person-centred care program. This outlines the services you will use and ensures that each is prepared to begin your care. We aim to provide quality care that allows you to remain independent and live within your own residence.
No matter your situation, we are here to assist you and simplify and empower your Carlingford home care journey. Contact us today to learn more on what you are eligible to receive and take the first step towards better care.
