Support at Home Yamba

Support at Home in Yamba

Carexcell provides Support at Home services in Yamba and the Lower Clarence, helping older people live safely and comfortably in their own homes.

Yamba life tends to be built around the water and around routine, the morning walk, the club, the drive to the shops, the family who come to stay over summer. The right home care should protect those routines rather than interrupt them, and that is how we plan every care package.

We support clients in Yamba, Angourie, Iluka, Palmers Island and the surrounding Lower Clarence communities.

Understanding the Support at Home program

Support at Home is the Australian Government program that funds care and services for older people living at home. Your eligibility and level of support are set through an aged care assessment, and your approved services are then delivered by the provider you choose.

Choosing a provider is genuinely your decision, and it is worth asking questions before you sign anything: who will visit, how often, what it costs you, and what happens if your needs change. Carexcell is happy to answer all of that up front.

Personal care that respects your independence

Our support workers are trained to help without taking over. If you can manage most of your shower but need someone there for the step in and out, that is exactly what we do. The aim is always to keep as much of the task in your hands as is safe.

Keeping the house manageable

Domestic assistance covers cleaning, laundry, changing the bed, meal preparation, shopping support and the light jobs around the house. For many Yamba clients, this is the service that makes the difference between coping and struggling, particularly through the humid months when the house needs more upkeep.

Transport, appointments and staying connected

Getting to appointments in Yamba often means a drive to Maclean District Hospital or a trip to the local medical centre, and both can be tiring without help. Carexcell can arrange transport, assist you at the appointment where needed, and make sure you are settled and comfortable once you are home again.
