In-home care services tailored to Canberra’s unique needs

Our approach recognises the distinctive nature of home care in the ACT. We don’t just match clients with providers; we understand the intricate needs of Canberra’s senior community.

Nursing care

Canberra’s health landscape requires specialised nursing support, particularly given the city’s diverse population and the need for culturally sensitive care. Our carefully vetted providers offer comprehensive nursing care that goes beyond basic medical assistance. From managing complex health conditions influenced by our local environment to providing culturally sensitive care for Indigenous and multicultural communities, we connect you with nursing professionals who understand the specific health needs of Canberrans.

Personal care services

Independence is a core value in the ACT. Our personal care providers focus on maintaining dignity and self-sufficiency. We understand that personal care in Canberra means more than just assistance – it’s about preserving individual identity, respecting personal space and supporting seniors to continue living life on their own terms.

Respite care

Recognising the unique pressures faced by Canberra families, our respite care services provide critical support. We help families find flexible care solutions that accommodate Canberra’s busy lifestyle and the needs of those living in both urban and regional areas.

Allied health & therapeutic services

Canberra’s diverse environment requires adaptive health support. Our providers offer specialised allied health services that consider the area’s unique lifestyle. From rehabilitation services that help seniors maintain mobility in urban and rural settings to therapeutic support addressing specific health challenges for ACT seniors.

Nutritional support

Nutrition in Canberra goes beyond mere meal preparation. We connect you with providers who understand the dietary nuances of ACT seniors – from culturally diverse meal options to nutrition that supports health in our climate and lifestyle.

Domestic assistance

Home maintenance in the ACT requires specific expertise. Our providers offer domestic assistance that takes into account the unique challenges of Canberra’s environment – from managing seasonal changes to maintaining homes in urban and suburban settings.

Companion care

Social connection is vital in a city like Canberra, where families often live far apart. Our companion care services focus on combating isolation, particularly for seniors in suburban and regional areas. We prioritise providers who understand the importance of meaningful social engagement in maintaining mental and emotional well-being.
