Homemade are an amazing company with a great team behind them who provide quality support for their clients.

Staff are incredibly helpful and take a pro-active role in making suggestions that enhance my father’s care and well being. HomeMade allows my father to access services that other providers do not accommodate or inform you about. I cannot speak highly enough of HomeMade. My father’s prior aged care provider made it impossible for him to spend his funds on the services and aids he needed outside of providing carers to his home.

I have found HomeMade’s staff to be cheerful, helpful, obliging whenever I have spoken to them, nothing I asked seems to faze them. Written requests/comments are responded to speedily. Great organisation, I am pleased to recommend them for your Home Care Package.

FAQs about shopping and errands assistance

How often can I schedule shopping and errands services?

The frequency of shopping and errands assistance will depend on your funding level. The same types of domestic assistance are available to each funding level; however, the amount of funding is different. This means that the hours of support will vary between each level.

How do I get started with shopping and errands assistance using my Home Care Package funding?

In order to access aged care shopping assistance and errands services for seniors through Support at Home funding, you will need to complete an aged care assessment that establishes your needs. If assessed as eligible, you can work with your aged care provider to establish what services will best meet your needs.

What's the difference between shopping and errands assistance, and personal care?

Aged care shopping assistance and errands services for seniors are designed for people who require help with shopping or running errands. They may need help with transportation to the shops, carrying bags, or collecting items on their behalf.

Personal care is designed for people who may require assistance with self-care, medication administration, or conscience care.
