How Home Instead can Help!
Home Instead can help with a range of personal needs while providing welcome companionship. Your care needs are individual to you and your condition. For some people, help in the home with regular visits from CAREGivers and allied healthcare professionals is beneficial while others may need specialist or palliative care to support their needs.
We can support with a variety of services from transport to appointments and social outings through to specialist dementia care. Home Instead can help with your capacity building and maintaining independence in your own home. We are responsive to your changing needs and can alter the amount and level of care you receive.
“I love the service I get from Home Instead. The CAREGivers are very educated in their field, and they organise everything for me. They make the bed, do the washing including folding and ironing, they clean the bathrooms, vacuum, dust and mop the floors. They even wipe the cupboards out if I need. I love my home. I feel comfortable in my own home. I feel safe, and I know where everything is. If I need extra services, I can just ask.”

Funding your Home Care
Home Instead provides support for clients who are funded by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and are either Plan Managed or Self-Managed. We can also support people who may not be eligible for NDIS support and can choose to privately fund their care.
Plan Managed is when the funds allocated by your NDIS plan are administrated by a Registered Provider of Plan Management Services. A Plan Manager helps you to keep track of your NDIS funds and also takes care of financial reporting for you.
Self-Managed is when you choose to manage your NDIS funding yourself. This provides you with flexibility and choice on how to spend your NDIS funding to best meet your goals and needs. Home Instead can support your home care needs irrespective of if your NDIS funds are Self-Managed or Plan Managed, or if you wish to fund or top-up your care services privately.
