Aged Care · Support at Home
In-home respite
Time for carers to take a break, with familiar, thoughtful support for the person they care for.
Local care across the Fleurieu Peninsula. Talk with us about support in your area.
Support built around your day
Caring for someone is an important relationship, and carers need time for their own wellbeing too. We work with both of you to understand routines, preferences and support needs, so respite feels planned and reassuring.
How we can help
- Planned support while a regular carer takes time out
- Help to maintain familiar personal and daily routines
- Companionship and meaningful activities
- Respite at home or support in the community where agreed
Respite arrangements are based on assessed needs, safety and availability. Talk with us about the length and type of support you are looking for.
Understanding your care options
The services in your plan depend on your needs, your care arrangements and any funding approval. If you have a Support at Home plan, we can talk through the support you have been approved for and discuss what can be arranged locally.
We explain service charges and any contributions or separate costs before you agree to care. If you are arranging care privately, ask our team about suitable options and a quote.
If you are new to government-funded aged care, visit My Aged Care to learn about assessment and available support. You are welcome to contact EC for help understanding where to start.
Let’s find the right care for you
You do not need to have everything worked out before you call. We will listen and explain the next steps.
- Tell us what matters. Share the routines, goals and tasks you want help with.
- Explore your options. We discuss your needs, care plan, local availability and costs.
- Plan your care. We agree the services, people and timing with you.
- Keep in touch. We review your support when your needs or preferences change.
