Support at Home Kempsey

Support at Home in Kempsey

Carexcell provides Support at Home services in Kempsey and across the Macleay Valley, helping older people maintain their independence while staying connected to local life.

The Macleay is a mix of town streets, riverside properties and farms, and the older people we support here are a similarly mixed group. What they have in common is a preference for staying put — near the family, the river and the community they belong to.

We support clients in Kempsey, West Kempsey, South Kempsey, East Kempsey and Frederickton.

What is Support at Home?

Support at Home is the Australian Government’s in-home aged care program. Your services are based on an assessment of your needs, the goals you set, and an approved support plan.

We understand that aged care paperwork can be off-putting. If you are not sure where you are up to — whether you have been assessed, what you have been approved for, or what it will cost — call us and we will help you work it out.

Personal care, done with respect

Personal care is delivered the way you want it: same worker where possible, agreed times, and only the assistance you actually need. In Kempsey this most often means help with morning routines, showering, dressing and moving safely around the house.

Help around the home

Cleaning, laundry, linen changes, meals, shopping support and light household tasks. It reduces the daily strain, cuts down falls risk, and frees up energy for the things you would rather be doing.

Transport and appointments

Carexcell can support transport to appointments at Kempsey District Hospital, GP and allied health visits, the shops and family gatherings — including help getting ready beforehand and settling back in afterwards.
