How it works
When you pay for your in home care privately, we charge an hourly rate for most of our services. We customise our care to your individual situation, so you only pay for as much or as little care as you want, and you're never locked into a contract.
In many cases, our clients receive some government funding as well paying for care privately. This lets you 'top up' your government funded care for a bit of extra support and comfort when you need it.
We charge the same hourly rates for government funded and privately funded care, so it's easy to manage if you need a bit of both. You may be eligible for government funding if you don't currently receive any, get in touch with us and we can help you find out.

The process for new clients
If you're interested in choosing us for your home care services, we can help you through the whole process of getting set up. Our process for new clients is:
1. Get in touch with us
Whether you have a good idea of what kind of care you want, or you want to find out about your care options, the first step is talking to us.
We'll talk about your care options and lifestyle goals so we can determine the best possible care for your circumstances. Get in touch with us to get started.
2. In home care assessment
Once we know the kind of care you want, we do a free care assessment in your home with your family present if you would like them there. We do this with a registered nurse and our Client Care Manager.
The goal is to meet you in person and fully understand your care requirements. We will find out the details of providing care in your home and how we can help you get the most out of life.
We also want to find out as much as possible about you, your preferences, and lifestyle so we can find the most suitable caregiver for you.
3. Care Plan
If you choose us to provide your in-home care, the next step is to develop a Care Plan. This will outline your goals and how we will help get your there.
The Care Plan does not lock you in to set period of time and you're free to leave at any point.
