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.

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.
