In-Home Aged Care That Fits Around Your Life

 

In-home aged care provides practical and personal support to older people in their own homes rather than requiring them to move away from familiar surroundings.

The level of support needed can be different for every person. Some people may need occasional help with cleaning, shopping or transport, while others may require regular personal care, nursing, medication assistance or support throughout the day.

At Empower Plus Care, care is planned around the individual.

We take the time to understand your needs, preferences, daily routine and goals before arranging suitable support. Our caregivers are experienced, screened and professionally trained, giving older people and their families greater confidence in the care they receive.

Support at Home in Bendigo

Our Support at Home services are designed for older people who want to remain independent while receiving the assistance they need in familiar surroundings.

Depending on the person’s assessed needs, support may include personal care, household assistance, transport, meal preparation, nursing, allied health and other services.

Government-funded help at home is currently provided through two key programs: the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) for entry-level assistance and the Support at Home program for people with more complex or ongoing care needs. An aged care assessment determines which program a person may be approved to access.

Support at Home commenced on 1 November 2025 and replaced the former Home Care Packages Program and Short-Term Restorative Care Programme.

When comparing aged care providers, consider their experience, services, staff, care approach, location, availability and ability to provide support that matches the person's individual needs.
It is also worth speaking directly with the provider before making a decision. This gives you an opportunity to ask questions and understand how they would approach your care.
Can my aged care services change if my needs change?
Care needs can change over time. If you begin needing additional or different support, speak with your provider about your circumstances.
