Offering help at home

UnitingSA Home Care understand that as people age they may need some help to maintain their quality life at home.

Our aim is to support people to continue to do the things they want to do.

We do this by offering a range of flexible services tailored to you.

This may include:

  • Home Help - housework, cleaning, laundry, home maintenance and gardening
  • Nursing & Allied Health – assistance and advice with mobility, home modifications, continence management, wound care, dementia care and palliative care, consultation with a Nurse Practitioner
  • Personal care and hygiene - bathing and dressing and hospital to home support.
  • Equipment – mobility, bathroom or personal aids
  • Meal Preparation - cooking and overseeing dietary requirements
  • Social support – outings and excursions, maintaining family and community links
  • Shopping - help with shopping
  • Transport - assistance to attend appointments and community activities
  • Pet care – dog walking and vet appointments
  • Respite care
  • Self-funded services

How does it work?

A Home Care Package is a set of consumer directed services that help you to live at home as your needs change. You can choose what you want in your package.

All you need to do is call us and arrange a time for one of our staff to come to your home and discuss what you need. We’ll guide you through the process so you get the best outcome.

We offer four levels of Home Care Packages:

  • Home Care Level 1 & 2 to support people with low level care needs.
  • Home care Level 3 to support people with intermediate care needs.
  • Home Care Level 4 to support people with high care needs.

What will it cost?

The Australian Government provides funding for Home Care Packages but you will be asked to contribute to the cost of your care. The amount you pay is based on your income, assets and investments and any additional services you may wish to purchase.

If you don’t want to wait for funding approval, or are not entitled to government funding, and want to start receiving services straight away you have the option of buying services through our Self-Funded Service Program.

This could be as a one off service or as a bundle of services. The choice is yours.

Our self-funded services are flexible, competitive and easy to arrange.

What you’ll receive from us:

  • A package of services designed by you
  • Flexible service delivered by professional and experienced staff
  • A monthly service statement identifying your budget and services provided
  • Experienced advisors supporting you to maintain control of your life

Reviewing an aged care provider is a great way to share your thoughts. But please follow the policies listed below when writing a review.

We will remove content that violates any of the policies listed below:

  • Conflict of interest: Reviews are most valuable when they are honest and unbiased. Please do not review your own aged care service or that of a competitor.
  • Off-topic reviews: Do not post reviews based on a third party experience, they must be your own. Our reviews are not a forum for general political or social commentary or personal rants.
  • Impersonation: Do not post reviews on behalf of other people or misrepresent your identity or connection with the aged care provider you are reviewing.
  • Language: Do not use offensive, profane, or obscene language. We will remove reviews that represent personal attacks.
  • Personal and confidential information: Do not post reviews that contain the personal and confidential information of another person.
  • Spam Content: Please no spam. Reviews should be a genuine reflection of your experience with an aged care provider. Do not include promotional content or advertising in any form. Duplicate material will not be accepted.
  • Telephone Numbers and Web Links: To prevent adverts and spam, we do not permit phone numbers or web links.
  • Hate Speech: We do not allow reviews that advocate against people based on their ethnic origin, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation or age.
  • Aged Care Reviews is not a complaints system. Reviews must be fair and reasonable. Any defamatory statements reflecting a personal experience that has not yet been taken up with the respective provider will not be accepted. If you have a personal complaint to make about an aged care facility we encourage you to contact your provider directly using the details provided on their listing. Alternatively you can submit a complaint via the Government’s Aged Care Complaints Scheme.
