Home Care Services in Townsville

Townsville’s tropical charm is simply unmatched. Lovingly referred to as North Queensland’s unofficial capital city, Townsville is an ideal place for older Australians who choose to age at home. Tucked along Queensland’s stunning coastline, Townsville boasts warm all-year-round weather, a vibrant local culture, and plenty of natural spaces that encourage happy, healthy living and a high quality of life.

From leisurely walks along The Strand to exploring the botanic gardens and enjoying local markets, there’s no shortage of ways for elders to stay engaged and connected here. Many older people in Townsville prefer to age in the comfort of their own homes, surrounded by familiar places and faces. That’s where aged care services become invaluable.

Our team is dedicated to supporting daily wellbeing with kindness and professionalism, and we adapt our range of services to fit each care recipient’s unique needs. Whether it’s companion care, personal care, dementia care, or another support service, we focus on more than just service provider tasks—we build relationships and tailor our care to what truly matters to each individual.

At The CareSide, we’re proud to serve the Townsville community by helping older Australians live independently, safely, and happily in the homes and communities they love.

Get Better Value For Your Home Care Package in Townsville

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.
