Our home care services in Ashfield

Every care plan starts with a conversation, because no two households need the same thing. These are the services our Ashfield clients draw on most.

Domestic assistance

The practical work that keeps a home safe and comfortable: cleaning, laundry, shopping and meal preparation.

Companionship and community access

Someone to share a cup of tea with, and support to get to appointments, the shops or a local club.

Respite care

Short term support that gives family carers a genuine break, whether that is a few hours a week or a longer stretch.

Why Ashfield families choose Right at Home for home care

When families start comparing home care in Ashfield, what they are really weighing up is trust. Our caregivers are matched to each client on values and personality as well as skill, so the person who arrives each week becomes a familiar face rather than another name on a roster.

That covers everything from a couple of hours of domestic help through to daily personal care, in home nursing, respite for family carers and specialist dementia support. As needs change the plan changes with them, so you are not starting the search again in six months. You can see the full range on our services page.

We support Ashfield clients through the government funded Support at Home program, and we also offer private care so help can start without waiting on an assessment. Right at Home Sydney Five Dock is the local team behind it, with Care Managers who come to you rather than working from another state.

Home care funding and what it costs

Government funded home care comes through the Support at Home program. What you contribute depends on an assessment of your circumstances rather than a fixed price list, which is why no honest provider can quote you a single number up front.

If you have not been assessed yet, that is the first step, and we can walk you through it. Full details of pricing and inclusions for this office are on our services page.

Common questions about home care in Ashfield

How much does 24 hour home care cost?

Round the clock care is priced on the hours involved, so it is the most expensive way to receive support and it is more than most funding packages cover on their own. Many families combine funded hours with private hours, or use overnight support only on the nights it is needed. We can set out the real numbers for your situation before you commit to anything.

What happens if I cannot afford to contribute?

Nobody is turned away from government funded home care because of their financial situation. Contributions are assessed on income and assets, and there are hardship provisions for people who genuinely cannot pay. If money is the thing stopping you asking for help, say so, because it is a more common conversation than most families expect.

What is the 28 day rule for aged care?

That rule belongs to residential aged care, not home care. It refers to the number of days of leave a resident can take from a facility each year while keeping their place. Home care has no equivalent, because the care comes to the person rather than the person moving into a facility. If you go away or into hospital, services simply pause and restart.

What are the three types of aged care?

Usually described as help at home, residential aged care, and short term or respite care. Help at home is what most people want and what we provide. Residential care means moving into a facility. Short term care covers recovery after a hospital stay or a break for a family carer, and can be delivered at home too.

When families in Ashfield start looking for home care

Almost nobody plans this in advance. Most families in Ashfield (2131) call us in the middle of something, and these are the three moments we hear about most.

  • After a stay in hospital

    Coming home is the hard part. We help through the first few weeks, from personal care and medication reminders to in home nursing, so a recovery does not turn into a readmission.

  • When the family carer is running on empty

    If you are the one doing everything, respite care is not giving up. A few hours a week, or a longer break, is what keeps you well enough to keep going.

  • When memory changes make home feel unsafe

    Dementia support works best when it is familiar and consistent: the same caregivers, a steady routine, and someone who notices what is changing.

Not sure which one you are? That is exactly what the free consultation is for. You can also call Right at Home Sydney Five Dock on 02 8358 7833 and just ask.

How to arrange in home care in Ashfield

Book your free consultation

Call us or send a message, and we arrange a free consultation at home in Ashfield, at a time that suits you.

We listen, then plan the care

We talk through the daily routine, what is getting harder and what would genuinely help, then build a care plan around that rather than around a package.

We check your funding options

We work out whether Support at Home funding applies, help you through the My Aged Care assessment, and set out what private care looks like if you would rather start now.

We match the right caregiver

Once the plan is agreed we match a caregiver on skills, background and interests, not simply on who happens to be free that day.

You meet your care team

Your Care Manager introduces the caregiver in person before the first visit, so nobody unfamiliar turns up at the door.

We review as needs change

Care needs shift over time. We check in and adjust the plan with you, whether that means more personal care, nursing support or respite.
