Personalised Support At Home Services in Brisbane
Choosing in-home care is a significant decision for older people and the people who care about them. Heather Senior Care provides Support At Home services in Brisbane for people who want practical help while continuing to live life on their own terms.
Our team can support everyday routines, connection and confidence at home. We begin with a conversation about what matters to you, then develop a personalised care plan around your needs, goals and preferred way of living. Care can be accessed through government funding or private funding, depending on your circumstances.
Heather has been supporting Brisbane families for more than 20 years. We are family-owned, locally based and committed to care that feels personal rather than transactional.
How Heather Can Support You at Home
Personal Care
Gentle support with daily routines such as getting ready, showering, dressing, personal hygiene, getting up and going to bed.
Companionship
A familiar, friendly presence for a cup of tea, conversation, puzzles, hobbies, gardening and shared activities.
Meal Preparation
Help with meal planning, grocery shopping, food preparation, cooking, baking and keeping the pantry organised.
Activities and Outings
Support to attend appointments, shop, exercise, enjoy social activities and stay connected with the Brisbane community.
Respite Care
Flexible in-home respite that gives family carers time to rest, attend to commitments or take a well-earned break.
Back-to-Home Support
Practical support as you transition from hospital back to home, with care planned around your recovery and daily needs.
Support At Home Funding and Private Care Options
The Support At Home program is designed to help eligible older Australians access services that support independence at home. Government funding can subsidise the cost of support, with participant contributions determined by income and assets. Clinical care costs are government-funded for people receiving Support At Home.
If you are waiting for an assessment, a support classification or an assigned budget, private care can help you start sooner. Heather can talk through both pathways and help you understand the next practical step for your situation. We do not expect you to have every answer before you call.
Some families still use the term Home Care Package. If you are transitioning from a Home Care Package or have questions about the newer Support At Home program, our team can explain how your current support relates to your options with Heather.
Starting In-Home Care with Heather
1. Start with a conversation
Call our Brisbane team or submit an enquiry. Tell us what support you or your family member is looking for and what is making day-to-day life harder.
2. Meet to understand your needs
A health and wellbeing consultation helps identify goals, preferences, routines and the support that would make the biggest difference.
3. Build a personal care plan
We develop a care plan around your priorities so that your support is purposeful, respectful and aligned with how you want to live.
4. Begin support at home
Once your plan is in place, your services can begin. Your care needs can be reviewed as your circumstances change.
Looking for a Support At Home Provider in Brisbane?
When comparing home care providers in Brisbane, it helps to ask what the relationship will feel like after the first phone call. Will the provider listen to what matters to you? Can they explain funding and fees clearly? Will you have a plan that reflects your needs, not a one-size-fits-all service?
At Heather, our care plans are supported by a Clinical Care Partner. Our clinical care team members are Registered Nurses, and we focus on helping people stay active, connected and in control of their care. You can also choose to change provider if your current arrangement is no longer working for you.
