Home Care

If you need help at home, we'll make sure it doesn't feel like help.

About our services

From recovering seniors to individuals living with chronic conditions, home care provides a unique opportunity to heal and thrive in an environment that nurtures both physical and emotional well-being.

For the individual, it means maintaining a sense of independence whilst receiving necessary medical attention in the comfort of your own home. Family members find peace of mind knowing their loved ones are in capable hands, without the stress of frequent hospital visits or the upheaval of relocation.

The in-home government assessment is conducted by the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). They determine what level you fall into, while the Department of Human Services (Centrelink) determines what co-payment you contribute to your care.

With so many different government areas involved, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and confused with information. Calvary are here to help, so simply call one of our friendly Care Advisers and they can talk you through the whole process.

The wait time for a package can vary. In non-emergency situations the government determines the wait time, and can vary from 2 – 18 months. That’s why we suggest reaching out for help as soon as you think you may benefit from it, so that you get the support you need sooner rather than later.

While waiting for a package, Calvary can apply for other types of funding on your behalf to assist you during your wait-time, so call our helpful Calvary Assist team on 1800 52 72 72 to see what we can do for you.

We work tirelessly to expedite emergency cases and secure appropriate government funding. Depending on the nature of your emergency we can activate services as quickly as 7-10 days.

Once we know your situation we can walk you through the options to ensure you get the support and care you need during this challenging time. We’re here to help any way we can so simply call our Calvary Assist team on 1800 52 72 72.
