Private 24 hour care at home in Melbourne
You’ll have a dedicated team of care workers who come and stay with you over the course of a week. This traditional type of 24 hour care is charged in blocks rather than an hourly rate and is ideal for people with high care needs who want to remain in their own home and live independently.
Premium 24 hour care at home
Many families receiving 24 hour care at home manage with one carer across a 24 hour period. These carers may stay for consecutive days, offering consistent care and familiarity. Ideally, you’ll have a small, dedicated team rotating across the week.
Should your care requirements change - like recovering from extensive surgery or managing high care needs - you may need a more intensive option. Active care models involve carers providing constant supervision in regular shifts, ensuring clinical care, personal care, and emotional support throughout the day and night.
Our premium 24 hour care at home services are available short-term (such as post-op recovery) or as ongoing support. Whether it’s managing medication reminders, assisting with daily needs, or simply offering companionship, our goal is to help you stay independent in the comfort of your own home.
