What does Calvary Home Care look like?

At Calvary, home care is shaped around how you live, not just the support you need.
news-main image-what-does-calvary-home-care-look-like
Home care allows you to receive physical and emotional support while remaining in familiar surroundings, keeping your routines, and receiving care that fits into your life.
When people start thinking about home care, it’s common to have questions about what might change. Many want reassurance that accepting support won’t mean losing independence or control over daily life.
At Calvary, we’ve supported people in their own homes and communities for over 30 years.
We understand that your lifestyle and wellbeing are just as important as clinical care. That’s why we work with you to tailor support at home that reflects your priorities, balancing your health needs with the routines, connections, and activities that matter to you.
Our home care services are designed to enable independence, improve social connections, and promote positive health and wellbeing.

Why do people choose Calvary Home Care?

With tailored support to meet your individual care needs, you can continue living in a familiar environment while staying connected to your community and usual routines. We offer a wide range of support services, including:
  • nursing and allied health services
  • help with cleaning or gardening
  • personal care
  • supported daily activities
Everyone’s routines are different, and our support workers do their best to work flexibly around your preferences and care needs.

What you can expect from Calvary Home Care

  • A dedicated Care Manager to guide you through your home care journey
  • Support workers who are directly employed by Calvary comprehensive training, reference checks and criminal history checks for support workers
  • The ability to choose visit days and time blocks
  • The option to request a change if a support worker is not the right fit
  • Access to language and culturally appropriate support workers where available

What can Calvary Home Care include?

Clinical and nursing care
Our clinical care can include support with:
  • wound care
  • blood pressure and dietary monitoring
  • medication support, including charting and prompting
  • specialist care for conditions such as dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and other serious health issues
  • access to therapies such as speech, podiatry and occupational therapy, and referrals to other health practitioners and doctors
We can also help with daily routines like showering, dressing, and personal grooming.
Lifestyle support
Lifestyle support is about helping you remain healthy, active, and socially connected. It can include:
  • domestic help (house cleaning, gardening, meals, odd jobs)
  • companionship (a cup of tea and a chat, sharing a meal, outings)
  • transport (to appointments, shops, social catchups, community activities)
  • staying connected (technology help for video calls, email, internet browsing)
  • language and cultural support (where available, culturally appropriate support workers; interpreters for calls/appointments)
  • family and carer communication (liaison, advocacy, mediation support)

Navigating funding with Calvary’s help

From 1 November 2025, the Australian Government’s Support at Home program replaced Home Care Packages and Short-Term Restorative Care. The program provides funding to support you to live at home.
If you’re unsure what you may be eligible for, our team can help explain the process, answer your questions, and support you to prepare for the next steps.
