Gain a Sense of Autonomy and Independence

One of the greatest advantages of in-home aged care is the ability to remain in control of your life. At allcare, we design personalised care plans that ensure you have the support you need while maintaining the freedom to make decisions about your daily routines and preferences. From helping with household tasks to providing assistance with medical needs, we empower you to lead an independent life in the comfort of your own home.

Avoid Isolation and Loneliness

Loneliness and isolation are common concerns for older Australians, and in-home care services can help you stay connected with loved ones and the community. Our Community Support Workers go beyond providing basic care – they offer companionship and support to ensure you don’t feel isolated. Our services also extend to social outings and interactions that foster a sense of belonging, creating opportunities for our clients to build meaningful connections and participate in activities they enjoy.

Enjoy a Happier, Healthier Lifestyle

In-home care enables older Austalians to maintain a healthier, happier lifestyle by ensuring their physical, mental, and emotional needs are met. From meal preparation to health and in-home care, allcare helps you stay healthy by focusing on personalised wellness. Whether it’s encouraging mobility, assisting with medication, or providing nutritious meals, we support our clients in leading active and fulfilling lives.

Get the most out of your Government Funding

There are multiple ways in which your in-home care can be funded. Government funding can be accessed via the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) and Home Care Packages (HCP). You may also choose to pay for your own care privately, or top up your Government funding via Self-Funded Care. As one of the most affordable Home Care Package Providers in NSW, allcare offers value for money, more control and more hours of care. 

At allcare, we help our clients navigate the complexities of government funding to ensure they receive all the support they’re entitled to, without unnecessary stress.

Receive Care Personalised to Your Needs

No two individuals are the same, and in-home care allows for the flexibility to tailor services according to each person’s unique needs and preferences. At allcare, we offer a wide range of services – such as personal care, on-demand transport and home safety and maintenance – that can be adjusted based on your changing needs. Whether it’s short-term respite care or long-term daily support, we will work closely with you to create a care plan that suits your lifestyle and promotes your well-being.

Continue your Daily Home Routines

One of the biggest advantages of in-home care is the comfort and familiarity of staying in your own home. Older Australians can continue their daily routines, surrounded by cherished possessions and memories, which promotes emotional well-being. At allcare, we ensure that our services respect and adapt to your existing routines, making the transition to receiving care seamless and stress-free.

Maintain Your Safety and Privacy

For many people, the idea of moving to an aged care facility can feel like a loss of privacy and security. In-home care allows you to remain in the safety of your own home, where you feel most comfortable. We offer services that enhance home safety, such as installing mobility aids and providing personal alert systems, giving you and your families peace of mind.
