What’s Included In Disability Home Care From Home Caring? 

Home Caring offers a range of disability care services in Eltham covering practically every type of assistance needed to live a full life. Our goal is to help you live independently while improving your energy and vitality at the same time. While conventional care matters, it’s not the whole story!

• Mobility support. Our team helps you get around the home using mobility aids (if you require them). For example, we can assist with bed to wheelchair or help you stand up after watching TV.
• Meal assistance. Carers can assist with meals, including preparing them, cutting up food, and eating it. Just tell us what you want and we can make it.
• Assistance with daily living. Support workers can help with grooming, toileting, dressing and other personal care tasks.
• Cleaning and housekeeping. Team members can assist with cleaning and housekeeping, such as doing the laundry and making beds. We can also aid with other tasks, including washing or wiping down surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom.
• Medication management. Carers can organise pillboxes for the week and ensure you take any required medication on time.
• Health monitoring. Support staff can check your health to see whether you are okay or if they need to change your care arrangements.
• Community participational. Staff can help you attend social and community events, providing transportation to help you get out and about.
• Life skill development. Carers can assist you in developing various life skills, including budgeting, cooking, and using public transport.
• Community support. Home Caring can arrange additional community support, including speech therapy and counselling.
• Home modifications. Sometimes, funding also permits modifications to your home to improve mobility.
• Educational support. Finally, carers can assist with education and skills development or vocational training.

Which services you use is entirely up to you. With the NDIS, you can use the funding as you see fit.

Who Qualifies For Disability Care In Australia? 

Most people living with disabilities in Eltham qualify for disability care. The Australian government and NDIS run an equitable scheme to ensure the people who need help get it.

As such, you only need to meet the following three requirements:

• Be under age 65 (or 50 for some ethnic groups)
• Be an Australian citizen or official resident
• Have a disability that requires in-home care for disabled adults

Call our team if you aren’t sure whether you meet these requirements. We can talk to you about them in more detail and whether you might qualify.

Sometimes if disability care isn’t the right option, you may qualify for another subsidy, such as My Aged Care.

These funding options work in different ways. Sometimes, agencies pay money into an account you own and then you permit us to use it for services. Other times, they keep it in escrow, managed by a third party. But don’t worry: we will discuss the exact arrangements when the time comes.

How Much Care Can You Get? 

The support you receive depends on the degree of your care requirements. Those with profound needs will receive more than those who just need a tiny bit of help getting by.

At Home Caring, we can cater to your needs whatever they happen to be. As such, we can provide anything from a single visit daily to around-the-clock care where staff stay with you through the night.

During our time with you, carers can perform all the tasks listed above, including helping you around the home, feeding pets, taking you to social events, and assisting with education and training. Simply tell us what you want us to do.
