Here to help with 24 Hour Home Care
Determining whether to relocate your loved one to an aged care facility or to consider it for yourself as you grow older can present a challenging choice. Though many people lean towards remaining in the comfort of their own homes where everything feels familiar, managing complex care needs that demand constant attention can pose significant obstacles.
Our 24 hour home care suits those with high risk of falls, severe medical conditions and those with dementia. Home Instead CAREGivers are here to help, all day and all night.

Frequently asked questions
-
How does it work?
To ensure you have care, and support at all times around-the-clock, often CAREGiver shifts are broken down into three (3) x eight (8) hour shifts. We at Home Instead will put together a compatible team of up to 5 CAREGivers who will be on a rotational roster so you can expect to see the same familiar faces day-by-day.
-
Do I get the same CAREGiver team?
Absolutely. Once our team of CAREGivers have been matched and confirmed, a Care Manager or CAREGiver will be assigned the role as a care lead. Through an open line of communication, regular catch ups with the family, and internal CAREGiver team meetings and communication protocols, the same team will look after you during a 24 hr period and they will also work hand-in-hand to ensure nothing is missed.
-
Who is this for?
Our 24 hour care service is suitable for those clients those who are at a high risk for falls, have severe mobility challenges, high medical needs or health concerns, or those requiring palliative care.
However, the most common reason for 24hr care is to care for those with dementia, where supervision is required around the clock.
