Home Care Services in Canberra

At once peaceful and vibrant, Canberra truly is a one-of-a-kind city. It offers a balanced lifestyle perfect for older Australians looking for connection and a slower pace of living. Loved for its leafy suburbs, beautiful parks, and rich cultural scene, the nation’s capital combines the best of urban living with easy access to nature and community activities.

There are many ways for elders in Canberra to remain active and engaged. Strolls around Lake Burley Griffin, visits to local markets, and other social outings (such as arts and cultural events) headline the lengthy list of fun things to do in Canberra. That’s why many older people in this historic location choose to age comfortably in their own homes: they want to be surrounded by familiar neighbourhoods and supports, and they value the independence and freedom to explore on their terms. That’s where aged care services in Canberra are beneficial.

At The CareSide, our compassionate local home care team provides tailored support and a wide range of services. Our support services include daily personal care, meal preparation, clinical care, and higher levels of care, such as specialised assistance and dementia care. Our health professionals emphasise respectful, personalised care that focuses on each person’s wellbeing, ensuring older Canberrans maintain their independence and quality of life.

The CareSide is honoured to support seniors in the Canberra community, helping them feel safe, connected, and empowered to live life to the fullest in this iconic ACT city.

In-Home Care Services Across ACT

Your Home Care Package funds should go directly toward your care—not toward administrative fees. We’re passionate about making sure your funding gets you the home help you need, be it for short-term care, complex care or any other domestic assistance. We’ll never push you to purchase a standard package of home care services, because we believe your care services should be tailored to your individual needs. 

We support all our clients across the Australian Capital Territory with dedicated Care Managers at no additional cost. Following a free care assessment, your personal Care Manager will work with you to design a care plan that matches the exact types of care you need based on your funding and eligibility.

Get Better Value For Your Home Care Package in Canberra

On average, The CareSide is 25% less expensive than other home care providers. That directly translates into more hours of home care for our clients. We charge a flat 17% rate for self-managed care and a 20% rate for fully managed care, meaning our clients have more funding in their Home Care Packages for actual care—no matter their package level.
There are no entry or exit fees, no consultation fees, no add-on invoices, and no hidden fees or surprise care costs. Our monthly financial statements are clear and simple to understand, and you can stop or change your plan at any time.

So how do we do it?

We have developed proprietary software that automates administrative functions, effectively eliminating the need for large teams of back-office staff. Our operating costs are simply much lower than other home care providers, and we pass those savings on to our clients. Here are other important details:

  • We directly employ all of the home caregivers on our care team and provide them with ongoing training in both general and specialist care. We never use third-party caregivers or outside agencies.
  • We always send the same caregiver, which allows them to establish personal connections with care recipients.
  • We schedule services and visits at your convenience at a precise time, rather than a four-hour window, so you and your family members never have to wait for your caregiver to arrive.
