Home Care
Better care at home
Our home care professionals provide support services with a geriatric focus as part of a care plan, or on an as-required basis. They work with you to create a personalised care program that delivers treatment and activities at home, and in the community.
Our home care professionals travel to your home, empowering you to enjoy a higher quality of life in the comfort of your home.
We deliver the care you need, in the home you love.
Your partner in care
A Geriatric Care Manager is an aged care professional who can help you and your family identify and find ways to meet specific needs.
At Allium Healthcare, our Geriatric Care Manager is your main point of contact who brings together all aspects of your care. This Includes care plan management, care services coordination, observation and reporting, and communication between family members and care professionals.
Together, we form a cohesive care plan and find resources to support you to continue living at home. Our Geriatric Care Manager addresses the combined needs of immediate and long-term care, health and social care, and reduces caregiver strain.

Live independently
Our therapy services provide rehabilitation in your home to support recovery of functional abilities. Home rehabilitation can benefit elders recovering from surgery, injury or illness, or at risk of falling. It is also beneficial to elders with chronic conditions who wish to improve or maintain their health.
We customise each care plan according to specific physiotherapy or occupational therapy needs. We work towards attaining desired outcomes with the support of our clinical expertise and innovative technology.

Physiotherapy plays an important role in restoring functional abilities. Our physiotherapist will prescribe exercises to improve mobility and gait stability, posture and body positioning, and to increase muscle function, coordination and endurance.
At your home, our physiotherapist can provide:
