Home Care Services in Port Macquarie

Port Macquarie is the kind of place where life naturally slows down—in the best ways possible. With its postcard-worthy beaches, lush hinterland, and a strong sense of community, this peaceful New South Wales town has become a popular choice for older Australians looking to settle down and enjoy a high quality of life.

There’s a lot to love about living here. The walking tracks, riverside parks, and local cafes make it easy to stay active and connected, and the relaxed pace of life ties everything together.

A growing number of Port Macquarie locals are choosing to age in their own homes, too—and with the proper support services, it’s more possible than ever. That’s where The CareSide can help. Our experienced support workers deliver in-home care services that are affordable and tailored to each care recipient’s specific needs, from everyday tasks (such as meal preparation) to more advanced health services, including dementia care.

We take the time to get to know each person and what matters most to them, so support from our home care teams always feels personal, respectful, and truly supportive. At The CareSide, we’re here to help older Australians across Port Macquarie NSW continue living life on their terms—at home, as well as in the community they love.

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.

Get Better Value For Your Home Care Package in Port Macquarie

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.
