Senior home care means getting help and support in the comfort of your own home. It’s a type of care that is designed to fit your specific needs and preferences, so you can continue being independent and enjoy quality of life in the community, rather than moving into an aged care facility before you are ready.
Home care services can include getting help with personal care, doing household chores, preparing meals, managing medications, transport to appointments, getting mobility equipment, exercise classes, allied health therapies, assistance with grocery shopping, respite care, specialised dementia care, and specialised nursing care. These services are usually provided by support workers or Registered Nurses who are specially trained to support older people at home.
At home senior services is a good option if you don’t want to move into assisted living or a nursing home. It gives you personalised care that fits your unique needs, and it also brings peace of mind to your family members, knowing that you’re receiving professional care and support in a place where you feel safe and happy.
In Australia, the cost of in-home aged care support is subsidised by the Australian Government, helping make services more accessible for older people who want to remain living independently at home.
If you need help with daily tasks, personal care or clinical support, you may be eligible for government-funded assistance through the Support at Home program. This program is designed to help older Australians receive the care they need at home, rather than moving into residential aged care before it is necessary.
Support at Home funding can be used for a coordinated range of services, which may include:
Services are tailored to each person’s assessed needs, goals and circumstances.
How to apply for Support at Home
To access government-funded support at home, the first step is to contact My Aged Care, the Australian Government’s starting point for aged care services.
You can call 1800 200 422 or visit the My Aged Care website.
After an initial conversation, you may be referred for an aged care assessment. This assessment helps determine the type and level of support that may be suitable for your needs. It is usually completed in your home, and you’re welcome to have a family member, carer or support person present.
If approved, you will receive confirmation of your eligibility and information about the next steps, including how to choose an approved provider.
You can then compare providers in your area based on services, fees, availability and the care experience they offer.
Once you choose a provider, they will work with you to create a personalised care plan and coordinate your approved services. Your support can be reviewed over time as your needs change.
Private home care options
It is also possible to pay privately for senior care at home.
Private care allows you to arrange support directly with a provider, often with greater flexibility around start times, service types and hours of care.
