How can we support you at home?

The goal of Support at Home is to help you stay independent and continue doing the things that matter to you – all from the familiar surrounds of your own home.

Anglicare offers a wide range of services. This means we can keep supporting you even if your needs change.

Here’s how we can help

Personal Care – support to help you look and feel your best.
Social support and community engagement – help you to join in activities and stay connected with people in your community.
Domestic assistance – help you with household tasks that may now be hard to do on your own.
Other Services – arrange services from other suppliers such as gardening, allied health and meal delivery.
Nursing – checking your health needs, creating a care plan and giving clinical care when needed.
At-home respite support – we offer short-term support at home so carers can take a break and rest.
End-of-life pathway – we offer extra care and support for people nearing the end of life, so they can stay in their home for as long as possible.
