Do things your way (With our help)

It’s your home, and we believe it should stay that way – there’s no need to move out just because you need a little extra support. With our in-home aged care services, you can continue living independently while receiving the personalised support you need to make everyday life easier and safer. Understanding aged care services at home can help you make more informed decisions about the care and support that may be right for you.

We provide in-home aged care services tailored to your lifestyle, including personal care, domestic assistance, meal preparation, gardening, and other everyday tasks. Our goal is to help you maintain your independence while enjoying the comfort and familiarity of your own home.

We also assist with the paperwork involved in accessing government funding, taking the stress off your shoulders so you can focus on what matters most. Whether you’re already receiving care from another provider or looking to start aged care at home, our team works with you to create a flexible, supportive plan that suits your individual needs.

With our home care services, staying at home has never been easier or more comfortable.

Home Care Funding

How to pay for your in-home aged care services

GOVERNMENT FUNDED SERVICES

Home care services may be accessed through government-funded packages. These packages include different services depending on your needs and eligibility. To apply for a government-funded package, you need to get an assessment through My Aged Care. The two most popular programs are the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP), which provides entry-level support for older Australians with lower care needs. While the Support at Home program offers coordinated, ongoing care for those who require more comprehensive assistance to continue living independently at home.

PRIVATE SERVICES

If you are not eligible for a government-funded package or if you’d like to start receiving services straight away, you can do so by booking services directly through Rest Home Care.

Private services may be suitable while you’re waiting to get government-funded services approved, if you don’t meet the eligibility requirements, or if you preferred not to get assessed.

To find out what funding you are eligible for or to learn more about in-home aged care services, contact us now.
