Private Care
HenderCare offers private home care services for older people and those living with a disability. Our private home care service is available to anyone seeking care. It doesn’t rely on a government assessment, isn’t subsidised with government funding and can be accessed straight away.
Private home care is an option for those who either choose not to access or are ineligible for government subsidised care services. At HenderCare, we offer a comprehensive range of supports. This includes support for those with lower care needs, right through to more complex care requirements.
