Fees, Simplified
With Carinity Home Care you’ll enjoy a dedicated locally-based Lifestyle Coordinator to call directly, ensuring you have a consistent point of contact. Your Coordinator will meet with you in person to discuss your current needs and goals, develop a tailored care plan and budget, and ensure your care adapts to any changes in your circumstances.
We ensure services fit your schedule, and take the time to match you and your carers to ensure a familiar, trusted, face.
From 1 November 2025 the Support at Home program replaces the Home Care Package and Short-Term Restorative Care programs.
