Home Care Services to Keep You Independent

Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) Perth

The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP), funded by the Australian Government, provides entry-level support services to older Australians who need assistance to live independently and safely at home.

Auscare is a proud CHSP provider in Perth, offering a wide range of aged care services tailored to meet the diverse needs of older Australians.

Home Modifications

Home modifications funded by the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) can help you live independently and safely in your home. Modifications such as grab rails, ramps, and accessible bathroom designs are tailored to improve mobility and enhance safety, ensuring your home suits your specific needs.

Auscare’s home modification services work closely with your Regional Assessment Service (RAS) to recommend practical, effective solutions that support your independence. Even small changes, like non-slip tiles or safety locks, can make a big difference in maintaining your safety and comfort.

Our experienced team is dedicated to supporting you in achieving a higher quality of life by improving mobility, strength, and independence, and recommending assistive technology where appropriate.

Cottage Respite

Auscare’s Cottage Respite service offers flexible respite care options for both older Australians and their carers. Our Cottage Respite is available in a variety of locations and provides a home-like environment with qualified staff who are ready to assist with your care needs.

Whether you need day, evening, overnight, or 24-hour care, we offer flexible options to suit your schedule and preferences. Respite care provides a vital opportunity for carers to rest while ensuring their loved ones receive the care and attention they deserve.

Day Centres and Social Groups

Our Day Centres and social groups are designed to keep older Australians socially engaged, active, and mentally stimulated. Funded by the Commonwealth Home Support Programme, these groups offer a range of fun activities that promote social connections and well-being. From outdoor walks to light exercise classes, our Day Centres provide a relaxed, welcoming environment where you can meet new people and enjoy engaging activities.

We encourage our clients to participate in planning weekly itineraries, so they have a say in the types of activities that best suit their interests.
