St Vincent's Care - Home Care Toowoomba
About
It’s care that meets you where you’re at.
St Vincent’s Home Care supports you to feel safe, comfortable and confident in your home and community. When your health and wellbeing aren’t where they used to be, St Vincent’s can assist when and where you need it.
Why home care?
There are many reasons why people use home care. Maybe getting around your house or to your latest appointment is a bit harder than it used to be. Perhaps you require nursing care and you want that type of assistance in the comfort of your own home. No matter the reason, our home care and community team can assist you in regaining confidence and maintain independence at home, for longer.
Asking for someone to assist doesn’t mean you’re not coping. It just means that, like so many others, you want to spend more time on the things that really matter. A little extra assistance in your home can mean:
• Spending more time visiting or hosting family
• Exploring new hobbies and favourite past times
• Or even just taking out more time for yourself
“Thank you for everything you do for us, all the carers are absolutely fantastic.”
What are the people helping me like?
The idea of having a stranger in your home can be quite confronting. It can also be a bit of an adjustment to incorporate someone new into your routine.
Because of this, we make sure St Vincent’s home care workers are:
• Willing to do things the way you like them
• Skilled in providing the services you need
• The right match for you
• Accessible when you need them
When a home care worker visits, they are there to support you and how you live your life. Because at the end of the day, it’s your choice who provides support for you.
“I’ve been so blessed by the help from my home care workers .They’re on time, know my mood and what to do without me even asking.” - Mary, home care client
