We can provide high-intensity support to aid with or supervise personal tasks of the daily life of the participant to help them develop the skills to live as autonomously as possible, especially in circumstances that require a more skilled or experienced support worker.
Our carers are ready to assist clients with much more complex daily personal activities including bowel care, wound care, catheter care, tracheostomy management, ventilation support, subcutaneous injections, PEG and NG Tube feeding, and medication administration.

We are ready to assist and support participants who are interested in joining activities that are within a group or centre-based aspect. This allows them to enjoy various activities or events they wish to attend.

We have a strong desire to help participants and their families. We collaborate, communicate and partner with participants to tackle their needs and desires.
We do not only see compassionate care as the right thing to do. We also raise the quality of care to improve patient safety.
Personalised Plan
We understand that every person with a disability is unique. That’s why we create customised care plans that address specific needs and goals. It helps ensure that care feels meaningful and contributes to a better overall quality of life. This can involve incorporating personal preferences for things like lifestyle activities, social interaction, and spiritual practices into the care plan.
By tailoring care to individual needs and preferences, personalized plans can lead to better adherence to treatment plans, healthier behaviors, and ultimately, improved health outcomes. This can be especially beneficial for people with chronic conditions or complex needs.
Personalized care plans put patients at the center of their care, giving them a voice in decision-making and a sense of control over their health. This can increase motivation and engagement in their care, further improving outcomes.
A personalized plan acts as a central document that all healthcare providers involved can access, ensuring everyone is on the same page and communication is clear. This can help avoid duplication of services, medication errors, and gaps in care.

This enables us to implement proactive solutions and prevent future issues, streamlining our operations. That’s why we strongly encourage our carers and support workers to write progress notes every after their shift.
Efficiently resolving client issues empowers us, the support team, leading to better job satisfaction and productivity. A happy and motivated team provides even better service, creating a positive feedback loop.
