Huon Regional Care Support at Home: Empowering Independence Across the Huon Valley

Huon Regional Care, formerly known as Eldercare, is dedicated to helping seniors live safely and independently in the comfort of their own homes. We proudly service a 20km radius across the Huon Valley, including Huonville, Franklin, Geeveston, Glen Huon, and Ranelagh. By providing professional, compassionate care directly to your doorstep, we ensure that residents can remain connected to their gardens, pets, and neighbours while receiving the essential support they need to thrive. Our local team understands the unique lifestyle of the valley and is committed to delivering care that respects your autonomy and personal preferences.

Tailored Support to Suit Your Lifestyle

As the aged care landscape evolves, the Support at Home Program has become a vital resource for Australians who wish to age in place. At Huon Regional Care, our Support at Home, we don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach. Instead, we work closely with you and your family to design a service plan that focuses on the areas where you need a helping hand.

Whether it is assistance with heavy housework, transport to social outings in Huonville, or professional clinical monitoring, our goal is to enhance your quality of life. As a local, community-aligned provider, we are familiar with the geography and the services available in the valley, making us a reliable partner in your ageing journey.

Our Comprehensive In-Home Services

Our services are designed to be flexible, allowing you to increase or decrease support as your circumstances change. We offer a wide array of assistance including:

Domestic Assistance: Helping with everyday tasks such as cleaning, laundry, and dishwashing to keep your home fresh and manageable.
Personal Care: Respectful assistance with showering, dressing, and grooming to help you feel your best every day.
Social Support & Transport: Providing transport for grocery shopping, medical appointments, or simply a trip to a local café to stay connected with the community.

Home Maintenance & Modifications: Minor repairs and safety installations, such as grab rails, to ensure your home remains a safe environment.

FAQ’s: Why Choose Huon Regional Care?

Q1: What is the advantage of choosing a local Huon Valley provider?

By choosing a local team, you benefit from staff who spend less time travelling and more time with you. We have a deep understanding of local services, pharmacies, and GP clinics, allowing for a more integrated and responsive care experience compared to national providers.

Q2: How do I know if I am eligible for the Support at Home Program?

Eligibility is typically determined through a My Aged Care assessment. Our team is happy to guide you through this process, explaining the steps required to access government-funded support and helping you understand the different levels of care available.

Q3: Can I choose the specific tasks my care worker assists with?

Absolutely. The "Support at Home" model is built on consumer choice. During our initial consultation, we create a personalised care plan where you dictate your priorities—whether that’s more help in the garden or assistance with clinical needs.

Q4: What happens if my needs increase over time?

One of the greatest benefits of Huon Regional Care is our "continuum of care." If your needs grow beyond what can be safely managed at home, we can assist with a seamless transition into one of our residential care facilities in Franklin, Dover, or Nubeena, with the comfort of staying with a local provider you know and trust.
