Why Choose in Home Care Melbourne?

If you have a parent, relative, or friend who needs care, or maybe you are struggling a bit with looking after yourself, but you don’t want to leave the security of your home, in home care is a wonderful option.

Medical Appointments

Attending appointments can be very stressful. Getting there is only half the battle. Grappling with jargon and asking the right questions can also be difficult. As can recalling and relating information accurately to the satisfaction of carers and loved ones.

Many people like to be independent – using trusted support only when needed.
If no friends or family members are available to help with an appointment, Call on Clare is there.

We provide confidence and peace of mind at single and ongoing appointments.

Our service is as comprehensive as necessary and can see us:

• Gather all required paperwork for the appointment
• Help the patient get ready
• Drive to and from the appointment (on time and in comfort)
• Help the patient from the car to the appointment
• Attend the appointment, discuss medical issues and translate jargon into simple language
• Organise necessary follow-ups with other professionals
• Communicate results to relevant people
• Take, scan and send notes to loved ones and care/residential staff (and keep a file copy)
• Organise hospital stays (e.g. pack a bag, contact relevant people, secure the home)
• Visit the patient in hospital
• Attend to errands and requests

Day Procedures

Day procedures and surgery can be more difficult than they seem. Did you know, for instance, that:

• Admission can take up to three hours.
• A general anaesthetic means you can’t drive for 24 hours or be picked up by taxi: someone must collect and stay with you.

All surgery is painful and can affect normal functioning. Health and safety depend on appropriate, timely help.

To remove stress and risk, Call on Clare provides full pre- and post-surgery support.

We can help prepare patients for admission and organise their bag, medication and paperwork. Our nurses know where to go, who to talk to, and how to fill forms.

They stay with a patient until admission is complete and hospital staff take over.

Why You May Need Respite

When you are a primary caregiver, this can be something you choose to do, or you may feel like you are the only one your loved one can rely on daily.

Respite through Call On Clare, allows you to relieve your stress, recharge your energy, and provide more balance in your life. Even short term breaks can help to alleviate some of the stress and fatigue which comes with caring for someone else on a regular or full time basis, and carers who use our respite services can help to improve your own wellbeing. It can also give your loved one a break from their care routine, while they can remain comfortable in their own home.
