Home Care Services in Geelong

Geelong is the kind of place where life feels balanced. It’s close enough to Melbourne for convenience, but far enough away to enjoy a slower, more relaxed pace. With its peaceful waterfront, leafy parks, and tightly knit local community, it’s no wonder more and more older Australians are choosing to call Geelong home.

There’s so much here that supports a high quality of life. From coastal walks and weekend markets to quiet spots for a cuppa, the Geelong region offers countless ways for elders to stay active and connected. Many older people in Geelong also choose to remain in their own homes as they age—and that’s where aged care providers such as The CareSide can help.

Our local support workers make daily living easier and more comfortable with affordable support services, from helping with showering and meal preparation to more specialised care such as dementia support. We believe home care should feel personal, respectful, and genuinely helpful, which is why our team focuses on the care recipient and their wellbeing, not just the tasks that need to be completed.

At The CareSide, we’re proud to support older Australians in Geelong and the greater Geelong area while helping them stay safe, independent, and connected to the lives they love.

Get Better Value For Your Home Care Package in Geelong

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.
