As a Ellen Grove-based Home Care registered provider, we are dedicated to providing quality, caring, and individualized Home Care to our consumers in the comfort and dignity of their own homes.

We understand that each person is different and has different needs, and we try to tailor our services to each client’s individual needs so that they can stay safe, independent, and well cared for.

Ellen Grove is a tight-knit suburb with beautiful vistas and peaceful ambiance. We are fortunate enough to be able to offer the residents of this beautiful suburb a range of Home Care services that enable one to stay at home for as long as one desires and yet still get the kind of care one requires. Our services are designed to give one all ranges of care, from basic home care to complete medical and nursing care, so that one can enjoy the convenience and safety of home without compromising the quality of care one requires.

We feel that our services must be holistic, and not only physical and medical but emotional and social needs must be fulfilled as well. That is why we do not only offer practical support but social activities, transportation, and even companionship. Our well-trained and experienced staff will try their best to ensure each client’s needs are fulfilled with respect and dignity as well as excellent care.

Through our continuum of comprehensive services, we enable individuals to maintain their independence, promote healthy living, and bring peace of mind to our clients and their families. Our philosophy of Home Care is founded on trust, dependability, and sincere dedication to our consumers.

Our Home Care services include

• In-home Assistance: Our day-to-day support service can help with everyday activities like cleaning, tidying, washing, and cooking.

Choosing the Best Home Care Professional to Meet Your Needs

When choosing the most appropriate home care agency, what is important is to find one that will not only meet your functional requirements but also your values and needs. It is overwhelming, yes, but what is important to keep in mind is that the best one is one that will listen to you, find out your particular situation, and work together with you to achieve the best outcome.

Some key things to keep an eye out for during the selection process include what services they cover, how much experience and training their caregivers have, and how adaptable the agency is to meeting your changing needs.

Our caregivers establish compassionate, genuine relationships with clients and treat them with dignity, respect, and active listening along the way.

We work to enable our clients to live as full and whole lives as possible, regardless of illness or age. We have designed our services to assist you with what you require to be as independent as possible, safe and confident in your own home.

Our Home Carers

At our centre, our Home Carers are the pulse of our business. They are professional, compassionate individuals who have a genuine passion for caring and improving the lives of those in their care. We understand that the selection of a carer is a very personal decision. With this in mind, we take great care to seek out individuals who are professionally trained but who also possess a natural inclination to care.

Our carers go through a strict recruitment procedure to ensure as high a standard as possible in both professionalism and skill. All carers are carefully vetted with work with vulnerable adults checks and criminal record checks, so you can be sure that the person who enters your home is not only safe but also someone you can trust. Our carers also receive ongoing training so they stay abreast of industry standards and best practice so that they can provide the most optimum standard of care.

Every carer is meticulously matched to individual clients according to their need, choice, and personality. We feel that every individual is different, and the relationship between carer and client is the catalyst for effective delivery. Our carers will deliver these from personal care to preparation of meals, management of medication, to simply being there to offer companionship with warmth, professionalism, and respect.

Our carers are trained to provide care for people with specific conditions, e.g., dementia, Parkinson’s, and other complex needs. We aim to establish respect and continuity with the person and their family and provide care in a manner that preserves the client’s independence and dignity.

Our Home Carers provide not just physical care, but emotional as well, and develop healthy, nurturing relationships with clients. They are the consistent, familiar face enabling people to sense continuity and security in their own home. In all that we do, we respect, understand, and empathize, so that all clients are heard and treated with dignity.

We believe Home Care is not a service, but a partnership that makes daily life more enjoyable for everyone. We are happy to provide excellent carers, first class in every aspect of their role so that every client receives the support they need to enjoy their life to the best possible degree.

Home Care Funding Sources

You can pay for our Home Care services through a variety of options, which will suit each need and circumstance. Knowing the options will enable you to make the right decision between you and your loved one, so that you receive the assistance you need without breaking a fortune.

Government Funded

Home Care Packages

Home Care Packages (HCP) deliver assistance in activities of daily living to aged Australians. Home Care Packages are funded by the government, and through them, a person gets an individual care plan, and they have services delivered according to the intensity of their need. There are four Home Care Packages from low to high level, and the funding amount rises with the level.

Home Care Packages provide services like personal care, nursing, domestic assistance, social support, etc. To determine whether you are eligible to receive a Home Care Package, the government undertakes a comprehensive assessment of your needs. Upon their approval, you receive an allocation depending on your needs, and you can select a carer to deliver the caring services that you require.

The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme)

For a person with a permanent disability, the NDIS funds a very wide array of support services. The scheme assists a person with a disability in reaching their goals and becoming independent by funding services like personal care, therapy, home modification, and other support services.

To receive NDIS funding, a person needs to be eligible and go through an NDIS planning activity to develop an individualised care plan. NDIS funding is very flexible and can cover a range of support, depending on individual goals and needs. NDIS delivers greater choice and control by the individual in the services they receive, and to choose providers best placed to meet their needs.

Privately funded

Private Home Care

For people who are not eligible for government funding or would like to have greater control over their own care services, there is another funding option known as Private Home Care. Private Home Care is personalized, direct payment for services on top of the government funding. Private Home Care is extremely personalized and can be designed to address specific needs.

Private home care offers a general scope of services such as personal care, companionship, housekeeping, and nursing. The client can select the services in terms of the type and frequency they wish to receive the care they require, with flexibility and independence. The private home care is received faster and more individualized for some since there are fewer qualifying factors than in government-funded care. Since it is self-paid, one needs to monitor the fee.

What’s My Next Step?

Should you be considering Home Care services, the first step is to identify your needs and understand what funding is available to you. Here is what to do next:

• Audit Your Needs: The first step is to understand what type of care you or your loved one will need. This could be assistance with daily tasks and activities including bathing, dressing, cooking, and housekeeping, or more targeted care in relation to things like dementia or mobility. The level of care will be determined by an assessment.
• Consider funding: Once you have ascertained your needs, it is time to explore what funding is available to you. If government funding is available to you, e.g., Home Care Packages or NDIS, you can access these options and complete the assessment process. Alternatively, if government funding is not available to you, you may want to explore Private Home Care, which is more flexible and allows you to have personalized care to suit your budget.
• Choose a Provider: You must make the appropriate choice. Select a registered and reliable supplier that suits your situation and is able to customize care plans to suit your individual situation. Consider what type of care they provide, their reputation, and if they have similar values and standards as you.
• Construct a Care Plan: Once you have chosen a supplier, the process is to sit down and negotiate a care plan. This is a document which should outline the actual care you will receive, how the care is to be given, and any other needs and/or preferences you have. What you are seeking to do here is to ensure the plan addresses all your needs in the best way to suit you.
• Receive Care: Once your care plan is agreed, the services will commence. You will have a professional carer allocated to you and they will commence providing care as laid out in the plan. There will be ongoing reviews between you and the provider to establish that all is satisfactory and to alter as required.
