Support at Home Hornsby

Support at Home in Hornsby

Carexcell has an office in Hornsby and provides Support at Home services throughout the district and the Upper North Shore, helping older people stay independent in their own homes.

Hornsby is well served for transport, health and community facilities, and many older residents here have raised families in the same house and want to stay in it. Multi-generational households are common too, and we are used to working alongside adult children who are already doing a great deal of the caring.

We support clients in Hornsby, Waitara, Asquith, Wahroonga, Berowra and Pennant Hills.

What is Support at Home?

Support at Home is the Australian Government’s aged care program for older people living at home. It brings clinical care, independence supports and everyday living services together under a single plan funded by your assessed classification.

Carexcell can explain what your plan covers, what you contribute, and how to use the funding to genuinely reduce the pressure on you and your family.

Personal care with dignity

We match support workers carefully and keep that pairing consistent. Personal care covers morning and evening routines, showering, dressing, grooming and moving safely around the home, always leaving as much in your hands as is safe and comfortable.

Help around the home

Cleaning, laundry, linen changes, meal preparation, shopping support and light household jobs. Larger Upper North Shore homes and gardens take real effort to maintain, and this is often the support that makes staying put realistic.

Support for family carers

If you are caring for a parent, regular home care is not a replacement for what you do — it is what stops you burning out. We can take on the physically demanding tasks, cover a regular slot each week, and provide reliable support so you can go to work, travel or simply have a break.

Transport, appointments and community access

Carexcell can support transport to appointments at Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital, local specialists and allied health, plus shopping, family visits and social activities.
