Support at Home Lake Macquarie

Support at Home in Lake Macquarie

Carexcell provides Support at Home services across the Lake Macquarie area, helping older people stay independent in their own homes.

Lake Macquarie is really a collection of suburbs and lakeside villages, each with its own character and its own established residents. Many of the people we support have lived on the same street for thirty or forty years and have no intention of leaving. Our job is to make that a safe and comfortable choice for as long as possible.

We support clients in Belmont, Warners Bay, Cardiff, Charlestown, Swansea and the surrounding suburbs.

What is Support at Home?

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

Carexcell can help you understand what your plan covers, what you contribute, and how to spend your budget where it will make the most difference.

Personal care that respects your independence

We help with the parts of your routine that have become difficult, in the way you prefer, at the times that suit you. The aim is always to preserve independence rather than replace it.

Help around the home

Cleaning, laundry, bed changes, meals, shopping support and light household jobs. Many lakeside homes are on sloping blocks with plenty of steps, so we also keep an eye out for the hazards that build up quietly over time.

Transport, appointments and staying connected

Carexcell can arrange transport to appointments at Belmont Hospital, John Hunter Hospital and local medical practices, as well as shopping, family visits and the social activities that structure your week.
