Much like a fine wine, as we age, we do so with grace. But also, with the question of what to do about our long-term care looming large.
And while aged care homes may be just fine, what with their traditionality and all, we find that those in the know prefer a more modern alternative: private at-home aged care.
Who does private at-home aged care the best, you ask? Well, that would be us.
Why choose private at-home aged care?
As we all know, home is where the heart is. It’s where all our fondest memories and treasures reside, and it’s where we go to unwind and feel at ease.
So why should that change as we age?
Here at Acquaint, we break the mould of traditional aged care. And with our surplus of services that go beyond conventional offerings, dare we say we even surpass it.
Personalised comfort and freedom
There’s something effortlessly chic about waking up in your personally furnished bedroom, sunlight beaming through the curtains, and knowing that your day will follow the carefully curated routine that took you years to perfect.
And with Acquaint’s private home aged care, you can do that every morning.
Our carers come to you and weave seamlessly into the fabric of your existing life. A stark contrast to you upending your life to go into a home, mind you.
This is just the same as our personalised care is to a one-size-fits-all approach – chalk and cheese. We, for one, craft bespoke plans around your health requirements, your preferences and your desired level of assistance. Rather than make those decisions for you.
But if you would like a hand, our dedicated team will be there to ensure you’re well looked after – whether you need help around the home or in the garden.
And we’re not ones to get in your way. Independence is a cornerstone of our philosophy. This means you choose your wake-up time, meal options, social activities and TV show before bed (although we may have some suggestions).
Optimal quality of life
We most certainly can all agree that rushed interactions and impersonal routines – such as those commonplace at larger facilities – are far from what can be considered proper social decorum.
With Acquaint, on the other hand, you can bask in the dedicated attention of a companion who truly knows you, your quirks and your needs. Which means that nothing can slip through the cracks. Even the smallest of concerns will be noted and addressed with the utmost personal care and efficiency.
This, combined with the everyday comforts you already know and love at home, means feelings of anxiety and stress are minimised – leading to improved sleep, a healthier appetite and a merrier dissonance for all involved.
And that’s not to mention the precious connections with loved ones. Because honestly, who wants to plan for the laughter and joy you’re used to sharing spontaneously?
When you stay at home, you remain conveniently located and accessible to those who matter most. Meaning the grandchildren can play in the backyard while you share a heart-to-heart with your eldest about the first time they tried caviar. What a hoot!
Peace of mind for you and your family
Your darling family have been there for you through thick and thin. So it’s only natural that they worry.
But they need not with Acquaint by your side – whether it be for a quick shift or 24-hour care. We’ll be right there, with a helping hand in the morning or a watchful eye during overnight care.
And with our far superior socialising skills, they’ll be kept in the loop on all things you. Your health. Your mental wellbeing. Your latest purchase from Carla Zampatti. All the important things. So they’ll never need to wonder how you’re faring.
We also know that life can sometimes surprise us with its not-so-charming twists and turns. So if a bump in the road comes along, such as a hospital stay or a mandatory holiday – because one simply must sun one's legs at least once a quarter – we’ll take care of everything. And never miss a beat.

Oh, darling. The shorter list is what don’t we do.
But if you prefer to have it all laid out for you, who are we to say no? So, without further ado, here is our suite of at-home aged care services:
Acquaint home care makes all the difference
It would be remiss of us not to clarify: Choosing Acquaint isn’t just about avoiding an aged-care home. It’s about prioritising your wellbeing, preserving your independence and maintaining your strong social bonds (and status).
