24 Hour Care

24 Hour Care

Deciding whether to place your loved one in an aged care home – or whether to move into one yourself, as you age – can be a difficult decision to make. While most people prefer to stay in their own home where everything is familiar, it can be difficult to manage if you have complex care needs that require constant attention.

24 hour home care

Deciding whether to place your loved one in an aged care home – or whether to move into one yourself, as you age – can be a difficult decision to make. While most people prefer to stay in their own home where everything is familiar, it can be difficult to manage if you have complex care needs that require constant attention.

This is where 24 hour home care can help. Twenty-four hour care is when you or your loved one experiences around the clock care for a 24 hour period while living at home, through a team of nurses and care workers.

This allows you to stay at home in a familiar place and remain close to your local community. It also removes the emotional strain of moving to an aged care home. Your family can have peace of mind knowing you are safe and well cared for, while you enjoy quality of life.

The benefits of 24 hour home care are:

  • having a personalised care plan that is tailored to your needs, interests and lifestyle;
  • not being placed in an aged care home prematurely;
  • carers can build relationships with families and support them with their caring responsibilities;
  • consistency in caregivers so you feel comfortable with the people supporting you;
  • a sense of calm and familiarity from staying at home – especially for those living with dementia;
  • ensuring your medical and personal needs are met at night by familiar care workers;
  • reducing the incidence of skin infections and urinary tract infections;
  • minimise risk of falls for those who need assistance with moving around the home (e.g. getting out of bed in the morning)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 24 hour aged care and lived in care?

24 hour aged care and lived in care are slightly different services. 24 hour aged care is usually provided by a team of care workers and nurses who share the workload. They provide care in shifts, so you can be supported by around the clock care.

Lived in care is when a care worker spends the night in your home. They will sleep overnight but be on hand to support you, if you need help. This service is more suitable for those who generally sleep through the night, and may need care at irregular times.

If you are eligible, 24 hour care can be funded through your Home Care Package. A Home Care Package is a government-funded program that allows older people to receive care services in their own home, so they can live independently for as long as possible. Once you have received a package, you are free to choose a care provider you like, and work with them to create a care plan that best meets your needs. The government then pays that provider a subsidy to deliver services in your home.

24 hour care is available through a Home Care Package, depending on what level of care you are eligible for. We provide care in a cost effective way without compromising on quality, so your funding can go further. For more information on how to apply for a Home Care Package, see here on our website.

24-hour care is suitable for someone who has round the clock care needs that are beyond what a family member is able to provide. Some reasons that you (or a loved one) might need 24 hour care are if you’ve recovering from extensive surgery such as an orthopaedic procedure; have physical limitations and struggle with day to day tasks; or have a chronic illness that requires constant supervision.

We provide 24 hr care at home, so our clients can live healthier lives. This means we take the time to get to know you, listen to you, and help you design a customised care plan that is based on what you need to live a fulfilling life. We also provide you with a consistent team of carers, so you can get to know us and feel comfortable with the people in your home.

We are also committed to providing high quality of care. Our experienced and qualified care workers and nurses deliver exceptional care according to current best practice. We also work collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams, with other health professionals and your support network.

Our team is also open to feedback and easy to communicate with. If you have a question about your care – or about your loved one’s care – we take the time to explain and discuss the best approaches, and incorporate your suggestions.

Everyone is unique with different needs, hobbies, interests and lifestyles. That means care plans should be unique and tailored to each person’s individual circumstances.

Home Caring’s team work with you and your family, so that you are in charge of your care. We are flexible, and design our services around what our clients need to live fulfilled lives. We can also adjust our care as your needs change, so your care is always relevant to your situation.

Home Caring also provides tailored 24 hour complex care for people living with a disability and high support needs. We are an NDIS provider, so you can receive care with funding from your NDIS plan. We can help you or your loved one live safely at home, achieve their goals and be as independent as possible.

Home Caring provides high quality 24 hour elderly care in various locations around Australia. Our multilingual team are locally based and highly experienced at providing care for people with a wide range of needs. We are more than happy to chat to you about your personal situation. For a free consultation with one of our home care experts, please call 1800 875 377.

Helping your loved one make decisions about their care can be difficult, especially if they reach a point where they require 24 hour nursing care for elderly needs. Chat to them about their preferences. Would they like to stay at home or move into an aged care facility? What kind of support do they need to stay independent?

One option is 24 hour care at home through a home care provider. If they aren’t receiving government-funded aged care, you can start the process together. The first step is applying for an assessment with ACAT (the Aged Care Assessment Team). You can do this online through the My Aged Care website or by calling My Aged Care on 1800 200 422. It takes about 20 minutes of your time. Once your loved one has applied (or you have done so on their behalf), your local ACAT assessor will be in touch to arrange a free face-to-face assessment at home. You can be with them for the entire process.

Once your loved one has been approved for government aged care funding, it’s time to starting looking for a home care provider that meets their needs. As you explore your options, you’ll have an opportunity to meet the care team, ask any questions you have, and see if they are a good fit for the person receiving care.

Feeling overwhelmed and want to talk to someone about the process? We’re happy to help. Get in touch to talk about 24 hour care for the elderly at home.

Home Caring offers 24 hour in home nursing care that meets suits each person’s lifestyle and circumstances – including their cultural and linguistic needs. This means that our multilingual team can arrange someone to provide care who speaks your loved one’s native language, and can provide a care in a sensitive and appropriate way. For more information about our care services, please get in touch by calling 1800 875 377.

Yes you can. If you would like to change your aged care provider to Home Caring so that we provide 24 hour care in your own home, we can help you through the process. Please give us a call on 1800 875 377 or speak to one of our aged care experts – consultation is free.

The Australian Government has announced significant changes to the aged care system introducing the Support at Home program set to commence on 1 July 2025. This initiative aims to enhance support for older Australians enabling them to remain in their homes longer and receive more personalised care.

Key Features of the Support at Home Program:

• Reduced Wait Times: The program will shorten the waiting period for in-home aged care services ensuring timely assistance for those in need.

• Tailored Support Levels: Support at Home introduces eight levels of ongoing care replacing the previous four, to better match individual needs.

• No Caps on Cleaning and Gardening: Unlike previous programs there will be no annual caps on cleaning and gardening services allowing for more comprehensive support.

• Care Management Cap: A 10% cap on care management costs will remain in place to maintain affordability.

• Assistive Technology Access: The program will expedite access to assistive devices like walkers and wheelchairs enhancing mobility and independence.

• Increased Support Funding: The maximum support level will rise from $61,000 to $78,000, providing more resources for those with complex needs.

• Restorative and Allied Health Services: There will be a temporary funding boost for restorative and allied health services, aiding recovery and well-being.

• Palliative Care Support: The program includes provisions for palliative care allowing older Australians to spend their final weeks at home surrounded by loved ones.

Staged Implementation of Price Caps:

Price caps on services will be phased in starting from 1 July 2026. For the first year providers will continue to set their own prices similar to the current Home Care Packages program. In early 2025, consultations will be held with older people, advocates, families, carers and the sector to ensure fair pricing and robust consumer protections during this transition.

No Worse Off Principle:

To protect existing Home Care Package recipients, the government has introduced the “No Worse Off” principle:

• Grandfathering: Individuals approved for a Home Care Package as of 12 September 2024 will transition to the new system without financial disadvantage.

• Fee Structure: If you were a full-rate pensioner paying no fees under your Home Care Package as of 12 September 2024, you will continue to pay no fees under Support at Home. If you were required to pay fees, you will pay the same or less under the new program.

At Home Caring we are dedicated to supporting our older community members through these changes. We are committed to ensuring the financial safety and well-being of our clients providing personalised care that aligns with the new Support at Home program. Our team is here to assist you in navigating these updates, ensuring you receive the care and support you deserve. 🩵

What an incredible way to wrap up the year! Yesterday Home Caring proudly co-hosted the Merry & Mingle event alongside our NSW RM Zoë and Hannah from the Connector Co team and it was nothing short of inspiring. Together we raised an incredible $1,300 for Lou’s Place, supporting women in need this festive season. This means around 20 women will receive vital support over Christmas—what a gift to be part of something so meaningful! The energy in the room was contagious and the heartfelt insights shared by Chris Mahoney from CM Wellness and Amy Dillon from Mynd & Me left us feeling empowered and inspired. Chris’s breathwork session reminded us all of the importance of mindfulness especially during this busy holiday period.

It was also truly special to see so many familiar faces from across our Home Caring network with teams from Baulkham Hills, Sutherland Shire and Campbelltown coming together to show their support. The sense of community, compassion and connection in the room was a testament to the incredible people we work alongside every day. A huge thank you to everyone who attended, supported and donated - your generosity will leave a lasting impact 🩵
