Home Care Services in Bundoora

Your loved one manages most of the day perfectly well, and then there is the shower, the tablets and the drive to the specialist. Ability Aid Support provides home care services in Bundoora for older people who want to live independently and stay in their own house. We can send a dedicated support worker to their home to provide personal care, help around the home, assistance getting out and about, and clinical care where it is needed.

Call 1300 70 12 40 and the cost question gets answered on that call, before anyone visits.

What a Week of Home Care Usually Looks Like

Almost nobody starts with a lot. The first booking is often two mornings a week: help with showering and dressing, a proper meal put together, the washing and the floors done while someone is there. It grows only if it needs to.

The supports we deliver in a Bundoora home cover:

Personal care. Showering, dressing, grooming, toileting, and safe help with transfers and mobility.
Daily living and domestic assistance. Housework, laundry, bed changes, and keeping the house safe to move around in.
Meal preparation. Cooking meals that get eaten, not just delivered.
Community access. Appointments, the shops, a visit to a friend, with someone there for the walking and the waiting.
Dementia care. Familiar routines held steady by workers who understand what changes and what does not.
Palliative care at home, and recovering care for the weeks after a hospital stay.
24/7 care, where someone needs a person in the house around the clock.

The point is ordinary: your father keeps his own kitchen and his own street, and what he can no longer manage safely gets done properly.

About Ability Aid Support

Ability Aid Support is a registered NDIS provider, the same registration behind our disability support services in Bundoora, and meets all NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission requirements. Staff screening, insurance, clinical qualifications and the full set of service guarantees are listed on our About page.

When the Care Needs a Registered Nurse

What most often decides whether an older person can stay at home is not the housework. It is a wound that will not close, a feeding tube, medication that has to be administered rather than left on the bench, or a catheter that needs managing.

Nursing care services for Bundoora clients are Registered Nurse-led and delivered in the home. That covers wound care and dressing changes, PEG feeding and enteral care, medication administration, and catheter and continence support, alongside health monitoring for ongoing conditions. Because the nursing and the support work sit in the same team, one visit can carry a dressing change, a shower and the vacuuming, instead of three separate arrivals in one morning.

There is a boundary worth stating now rather than discovering later. Ability Aid Support does not provide allied health. We do not employ occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech pathologists or behaviour support practitioners.

When Staying at Home Stops Being the Right Answer

Home care is not always the better option, and any provider who tells you it is has something to sell.

There is a point where the risk at home outgrows what visiting support can hold. Night wandering that nobody is awake for. Falls that keep happening between visits. A husband or wife doing the caring who is exhausted past the point where more hours fix it. Residential aged care exists for exactly those situations, and for some families it is the kinder and safer choice.

The decision is often made a year early, in a bad fortnight, without anyone knowing what the alternative actually involves. If you are somewhere in that fortnight, find out what care at home would look like in practice first. Tell us honestly what is going wrong and we will tell you honestly whether we can hold it.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the hours, the type of support and the funding source. NDIS-funded support follows the NDIS Price Guide. Privately paid support is a fixed rate with GST added. Rather than quote a figure that will not match your situation, we put the hours, the support type and the total in a free written quote first.

No. We are not part of the government aged care system, so there is no assessment and no waitlist to get through with us. If a subsidised package is the better path for your family, that process starts with My Aged Care.

Sometimes. We do provide 24/7 care, and it works well for shorter stretches, after a hospital discharge or through a palliative period. It is also the most expensive way to buy home care, because it is priced by the hours worked. Where the need is permanent and total, residential care deserves a fair hearing.

Yes. Recovering care is one of the most common reasons families call: wound care, medication, personal care and meals through the weeks after a discharge, then a step down as he picks up.

That is what the roster is built around. The same worker stays with her wherever possible, precisely because a familiar face is the difference between a calm shower and a bad morning.

A Registered Nurse comes to the house. Wound care, PEG feeding, medication administration and catheter or continence support are all delivered at home, by our own nursing staff.

Say so and we act on it. Our satisfaction and reliability guarantees mean concerns are addressed promptly with corrective action, and we follow up afterwards to confirm the change held.
