Support at Home Coffs Harbour

Support at Home in Coffs Harbour

Carexcell is based in Coffs Harbour, and Support at Home is what we do here every day — helping older people across the city and its suburbs stay safe, comfortable and independent at home.

Coffs Harbour is the service centre for the whole Mid North Coast: the hospital, the specialists, the major shopping centres and the community organisations are all here. That makes it easier to arrange the right care, and it also means older residents often end up coordinating a lot of different appointments and services. We take that load off you.

We support clients across Coffs Harbour and in Korora, Toormina, Boambee, North Boambee Valley and Moonee Beach.

What is Support at Home?

Support at Home is the Australian Government’s aged care program for older people living in their own homes. It brings clinical care, independence supports and everyday living services together under one plan, funded through a quarterly budget set by your assessed classification.

Because we are a local provider, we can usually respond quickly when circumstances change — a fall, a discharge, a family carer going away — rather than working through a call centre in another state.

How Carexcell helps in Coffs Harbour

  • Personal care — showering, dressing, grooming, continence support and safe daily routines.
  • Domestic assistance — cleaning, laundry, linen changes, meal preparation and household organisation.
  • Transport and social support — shopping, appointments, family visits and community activities.
  • Nursing and clinical support — wound care, medication support, health monitoring and coordination with your GP and specialists, where approved.
  • Home maintenance and gardening — keeping the house and yard safer and easier to manage.
  • Specialist supports — restorative care, assistive technology, home modifications and end-of-life support where eligible.
  • Care coordination — one point of contact who keeps your services, appointments and reviews on track.

Personal care with dignity

We match support workers to clients rather than filling a roster slot, and we keep that pairing consistent wherever we can. Personal care in Coffs Harbour typically covers morning and evening routines, showering, dressing, grooming and safe movement around the house, with as much left in your hands as possible.

Help around the home

Cleaning, laundry, linen changes, meal preparation, shopping support and light household jobs — the tasks that quietly pile up. Keeping the house clear and organised also reduces falls risk, which is one of the main reasons people lose their independence unexpectedly.

Appointments, transport and community access

With Coffs Harbour Health Campus, specialist rooms and allied health all in the area, transport support is one of our most-used services. We can help you prepare, get you there, wait or assist as needed, and make sure you are comfortable at home afterwards.
