Most of us want to remain living in our own home as we age. In-home aged care allows people to stay safe and comfortable in their own home, without having to move. At Adssi, we are passionate about supporting our clients to live their best lives, at home and in their local community for longer. We can provide a range of practical in-home support services including house cleaning for the elderly and other things that make staying at home comfortable and safe

Depending on the level of support that you require, various services are available. The Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) provides low-level support up to 1.5 – 2 hours a week. For anyone needing higher levels of support a Home Care Package may be the best option.

Home Care Packages range from Level 1 – Level 4 and have the flexibility to be tailored to your individual situation.

Home Help for Pensioners

As you grow older, it may become increasingly difficult to perform home maintenance jobs as well as some of the basic day-to-day tasks to keep things clean, tidy and most importantly safe.

If you’re over 65 you may be eligible for subsidised in-home aged care including help with household tasks such as cleaning and laundry, gardening and maintenance. If you’re after some help to stay living safely and independently, get in touch with Adssi.

Commonwealth Government Funded Support

The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) provides subsidised entry-level and short-term support for older Australians wishing to stay living in their own home.

Subsidised home help for people over the age of 65 is available through the government’s My Aged Care. You can receive help with household tasks, cleaning, transport to appointments, personal care, meal preparation and grocery shopping, social support and more.

Under the CHSP program, the key focus is “doing with” – not “doing for”. Rather than ‘taking over’ the aim is to keep people as independent as possible. You can expect about 1.5 – 2 hours help per week under this program. If you need more help you may be eligible for a Home Care Package which provides more hours and more options.

In Home Aged Care Services

Services available under the Commonwealth Home Support Program include:

• Personal care – Everyday activities that we take for granted such as bathing/showering and getting dressed.
• Household Tasks – Cleaning the bathroom and kitchen, vacuuming, help with laundry – all the basic things to help keep your place tidy and safe for you.
• Home maintenance – General repairs in and around your house and yard. This can include lawn mowing, odd repair jobs etc. You may also be eligible to receive home modifications as well as special aids and equipment (e.g. bath or toilet seat) to keep you as safe as possible.
• Transport – If you can no longer drive, or perhaps are unable to drive for a period of time, we can help get to and from appointments
• Social support – Social activities in small groups can help you connect and interact with other people in a meaningful way. Activities include outings to places of interest, luncheons, variety shows, etc.
• Meal Preparation – Help with the grocery shopping and preparing nutritious meals for you.
• Allied Health – Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Podiatry services are available in your home.
