Home Aged Care Services
At Olivet Care we strive to support people to maintain their independence, health & wellbeing
Having worked hard all your life you have made your house a home, and we want you to enjoy living life.
Life changes constantly, and as we age some tasks can become a little bit harder to do alone. Changes in your health can have a significant impact on your quality of life. Your Care Manager will work with you to develop a care plan and budget that will assist you to maintain your health and wellbeing.
Olivet Home Care can support you to manage your Home Care Package. Making the most of the funding available to you enables you to keep doing the activities you enjoy and to stay connected to your community. We’ll work with you to make sure that you have what you need to keep living well at home.
Building on Olivets’ extensive experience caring for older people, we offer a range of allied health and home care services to suit your individual circumstances. Our services are available to all those in the local communities across Maroondah and Knox including Ringwood, Croydon, Ferntree Gully, Boronia and surrounding suburbs.
Olivet Home Care is perfect for
An extra little help around the house when you need it
