Aged Care Solutions to Suit Every Stage

At Mercy Community, we offer a range of care options, so it’s easy to find the right support at the right time. Whether you’re looking for home care, respite care, residential care, palliative care or dementia care, we can provide the assistance you need now and in the future.

How Home Care Makes a Difference

Independent living for longer

Stay in your home and keep doing the things you love. We’ll make sure you get the support you need to enjoy an active and fulfilled lifestyle.

Expert care where your needs come first

First, we’ll get to know you and learn about your lifestyle, then we’ll create an individualised care package that meets your unique lifestyle needs.

Connection to the things that matter most

Whether it be attending appointments, catching up with friends or enjoying a special event, we’ll coordinate services and transport to ensure you stay connected.

Flexible arrangements for real life

Life changes day-by-day and week-by-week. We give you the flexibility to adapt your level of care as your needs change. It’s your plan, your way.

Peace of mind for families

Reliable, genuine and consistent care gives families peace of mind that their loved one is safe and supported in our Mercy Community.

Ongoing support for changing needs

We will regularly assess your care plan and make sure it’s meeting your needs. If things change, we’ll guide you through your options.

Stay Active at Home and in the Community

We know that a little help is sometimes all that’s needed to keep you independent in your home and involved in what’s most important to you. Whether it be support with household tasks, transport, social activities, personal care, allied health sessions or exercise classes, we partner with you to maintain a healthy and active life.

Our Services

Domestic Support

Daily tasks, big or small, don’t need to be a barrier to maintaining your independence. Mercy Community is here to support you with your domestic tasks, enabling you to continue the activities you like whilst we assist with the ones you might not. We support you to maintain your home, your way.

No matter what is on your to do list, our friendly team is committed to providing the domestic support you need to retain your independence, safety and comfort in your home.

Health & Wellness

Our dedicated health and wellness specialists can support you with the right nutrition and physical activity advice. We can organise nutritional advice and help you get to regular exercise classes and outdoor activities.

We’ll also coordinate our allied health therapy and appointments with specialists, like physiotherapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, dentists, optometrists, audiologists and podiatrists. With daily support to take medication or travel to appointments – it’s all part of a tailored plan for better health.

Personal Assistance

There are times when we all need a little extra help. Getting the assistance you need for showering, dressing, toileting or grooming can mean that you’re able to stay independent in so many other ways.

We can coordinate everyday support from professional staff, who make your dignity and comfort their priority. There’s also help available if you need support at other times during the day.

Social & Transport

Our care packages do more than provide support in the home. It helps you live an active and social life, getting out to see friends and do the things you love most.  Enjoy shows, sports and shopping, or visit natural attractions for fresh air and outdoor hobbies.

Of course, we can also help you with routine commitments, such as appointments and errands. It’s all about helping you do what’s most important to you.

Nursing & Clinical Care

If you need more specialised medical support, it’s possible to get help in the comfort of your own home. We’ll make sure you receive expert care in your home and help you attend specialist appointments when needed.

General nursing care, as well as more complex care for dementia, palliation, diabetes and wounds can all be coordinated in the familiar surrounds of home.

Veterans’ Health Care 

This program aims to provide home care services to eligible veterans and their families, ensuring their health, wellbeing, and independence. 

The VHC service encompasses a range of essential support, including domestic help, personal care, respite care and safety-related home maintenance. Our dedicated team of professionals is committed to delivering high-quality care tailored to the unique needs of each veteran. 

To be eligible for the VHC service, you need to have a Veteran Gold Card or a Veteran White Card with an accepted service-related condition. You should be living at home and require low levels of care.  

Please discuss contributions with your referral agency.

Equipment, Aids & Home Modifications

There’s a range of home modifications and devices that offer simple and accessible solutions to daily problems and inconveniences. The Mercy Community dedicated equipment team can explain the options available to help with mobility, communication, continence and more.

Simple home changes and new technology can make it easy to stay safe and healthy at home. We can explain your options and suggest solutions that will make a real difference.
