Support at Home Sawtell

Support at Home in Sawtell

Carexcell provides Support at Home services in Sawtell and the surrounding southern Coffs suburbs, helping older people stay independent in their own homes.

Sawtell has a village feel that people are reluctant to give up — the cafes along First Avenue, the beach, the bowls club, neighbours who notice when you have not been out for a few days. Home care here works best when it supports those habits rather than replacing them, which is how we approach every plan.

We support clients in Sawtell, Toormina, Boambee East, Bonville and Bayldon.

What is Support at Home?

Support at Home is the Australian Government’s aged care program for people receiving care in their own home. Your services are set through an aged care assessment, your goals and an approved support plan, and delivered by the provider you choose.

Carexcell’s office is a short drive away in Coffs Harbour, so if something needs sorting out you are dealing with people who know the area and can act quickly.

Personal care that respects your independence

We take the view that our job is to fill the gap, not to take over. If you manage well most days and only want someone there twice a week, that is a perfectly reasonable plan — and often the one that keeps people independent longest.

Help around the home

Domestic assistance covers general cleaning, laundry, changing linen, meal preparation, shopping support and light household tasks. It is the service that most often prevents a small problem from becoming a fall or a hospital admission.

Transport and staying connected

Staying socially connected is one of the strongest predictors of wellbeing in later life. Carexcell can support transport to appointments at the Coffs Harbour Health Campus or local medical centres, to the shops, or to the regular social activities that keep your week structured.
