Compassionate In-Home Aged Care in Adelaide

There is truly no place like home. As we get older, the desire to live independently in our own familiar, comfortable surroundings is incredibly important. But what happens when daily tasks become a challenge?

Humanity Care’s in-home aged care services in Adelaide are the perfect solution. We provide respectful, professional, and compassionate support for seniors, helping you live safely and comfortably at home, on your own terms. This is a positive alternative to moving into a residential nursing home, giving you and your family total peace of mind.

How Our In-Home Care Works

Our service is simple: one of our friendly, police-checked, and trained support workers will visit you in your home to provide a helping hand. We don’t take over; we support you. Our services are 100% flexible, from just a couple of hours a week to 24/7 care.

Our Senior Support Services

We tailor a support plan to your specific needs. Common services include:

Area of Support How We Can Help You
Companionship A friendly face for a cup of tea, a chat, sharing a hobby, or just being there.
Household Help Light cleaning, laundry, ironing, changing bed linen, and keeping your home tidy.
Meals & Nutrition Assisting with grocery shopping, preparing healthy meals, and helping with eating.
Personal Care Dignified and respectful assistance with showering, dressing, and grooming.
Community & Health Providing safe transport to doctor's appointments, the chemist, or social outings.
Wellness Support Gentle medication reminders and assisting with light, approved exercises.
Our philosophy is simple: we provide the same level of respectful, compassionate care that we would want for our own family.

Who is this Service For?

Our in-home aged care services in Adelaide are for any senior who wishes to maintain their independence at home. We are an approved provider and can support you if you are:

  • Funded by a Home Care Package (HCP) through My Aged Care.
  • A senior with NDIS funding (if your disability is permanent and significant).
  • Paying privately for in-home support.
  • A family member looking for respite care (a short break from caring).

Is In-Home Support Right for You?

  • Are you (or your family) worried about your safety when you're alone?
  • Do you find daily tasks like cooking, cleaning, or shopping difficult?
  • Would you appreciate a friendly visitor for a chat and some company?
  • Do you need help getting to and from medical appointments?
  • Do you want to stay in your own home but just need a helping hand?

If you answered yes to any of these, our in-home support can make a world of difference.

Understanding Your Funding: Home Care Packages (HCP)

For most Australians, in-home aged care is funded by the government through the My Aged Care system.

The primary way is a Home Care Package (HCP). This is a package of funding (from Level 1 to Level 4) that the government pays to a provider of your choice—like Humanity Care—to cover the costs of your support.

To get a package, you must first be assessed by an “Aged Care Assessment Team” (ACAT). Our expert team can help you and your family understand and navigate this process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is this the same as a nursing home?

No, it’s the opposite. A nursing home (or “Residential Aged Care”) is when you move into a full-time care facility. Our service is when a support worker comes to you in your own home, allowing you to stay where you are most comfortable.

Can I trust the support worker in my home?

Absolutely. Your trust, safety, and comfort are our highest priorities. Every Humanity Care support worker undergoes a rigorous screening process, including a National Police Check. We are dedicated to matching you with a small, consistent team of friendly, professional, and reliable carers.

What if I have dementia or Alzheimer's?

We can provide specialised support. Our team has training and experience in dementia-specific care. We can provide patient, compassionate support that helps manage routines, provides companionship, and ensures safety in the home.

What if my needs change?

Our service is 100% flexible. You may start with just a few hours a week for cleaning, and later you may need more support with personal care. We adapt to you. Your support plan can be updated at any time as your needs change.
