In- Home Care

In- Home care

Home care services are delivered by qualified and trained staff of Good Samaritan Care Services. This support will help you to work towards achieving your goals of remaining independent in your own home for longer and ensure that you are supported to live safely within your home environment.

Home Modification

Home modifications are changes to the structure, layout or fittings of a participant’s home so they safely access it and move around comfortably in areas they frequently use.

Home modifications may be included in your plan if:

• due to the impact of your disability, you or your carers cannot reasonably access and use frequently used rooms and spaces in your primary residence;
• your primary residence, in its current condition, has significant and adverse impacts on the sustainability of current living and care arrangements; and

a suitably qualified Occupational Therapist has performed an assessment and recommended home modifications, considering all possible alternatives, including the use of equipment

NDIS assistance with daily life

Our care workers are here to help you with daily activities such as tidying the bathroom, bedroom or kitchen, vacuuming or mopping the floors and dusting around your home.
