What does support at home mean for you?

NDIS in-home care in Belconnen gives you the right support at home.

The goal is to help you live as independently as possible while staying comfortable at home.

For many people, in-home care is the perfect balance between independence and support.

It allows you to continue living in the comfort of your home while getting the support you need.

It’s about making daily living easier

The great thing about in-home care is that it can be made to fit your daily living.

You could need assistance with cooking, getting ready in the morning, or going out into the community.

Your support worker can provide a helping hand.

The support plan is designed around what works best for you, ensuring your needs are always the focus.

Things to think about when finding the right in-home care in Belconnen

Choosing the right provider is an important decision for you to make.

Belconnen has many options when it comes to in-home care. 

Are they experienced and do they match your needs

The best providers have experienced, trained support workers

• Look for workers with NDIS experience and strong references. Providers should ensure their staff are well-trained in disability support, first aid, and communication skills.
• It’s important that the people who assist you are skilled, trustworthy, and able to handle different situations with care and professionalism. 
• They understand different needs and know how to provide care that fits you. 

Flexibility in support at home

Your needs might change, so it's important to choose a provider that can adjust with you

• Flexible care means having services that adapt to your lifestyle. You could need morning assistance, evening support, or occasional help on weekends.
• Finding a provider who understands your schedule makes a big difference. They should work with your schedule and be open to changes in your care plan. 
• If you require extra support during certain times, such as after a hospital stay, your provider should be able to offer additional help without a complicated process.

Connection can grow into companionship 

A provider that listens to you and values your preferences will give you a better experience

• Having the right support worker makes a big difference. It’s not just about the services - they should also be someone you feel comfortable and safe with. 
• Building a good relationship with your support worker can make daily life easier. It helps to have someone who understands your needs, knows your routines.
• They should be able to engage with you in meaningful ways. A great support worker will help you feel heard and respected while providing the assistance you need.

Community is key

A support worker who knows Belconnen can help you stay connected to your community

• If it’s heading to the local shops, attending events, or just knowing the best places for a walk, local knowledge makes in-home care even better.
• When support workers are familiar with the area, they can help you stay involved in the things you love. 
• You could want to visit parks or attend social activities, having a support worker who knows what’s happening around you can enhance your experience.
  

Belconnen is not just a great place for in-home care - it’s also a wonderful community to explore.

With beautiful outdoor spaces and great local events, there’s always something to enjoy.

Lake Ginninderra - A great outdoor spot

If you haven’t visited Lake Ginninderra, it’s a must-see.

The lake offers a peaceful setting for walks, picnics, and even kayaking. 

A stroll along the lake can be a great way to enjoy fresh air while staying active. 

There are some steep hills between car parking and the waterline to please be aware of.

It may be best to access Lake Tunadera from the Westfield Mall side of the lake.

Local markets and cafes

Belconnen has a lively food scene, with fresh produce markets and cosy cafes.

You can enjoy a great meal, meet new people, and support local businesses. 

Some favourites include the Belconnen Fresh Food Markets and local coffee shops with delicious treats.

Belconnen markets

They've been refurbished in the last couple of years.

It's a very different experience to what it used to be, and it's also very accessible. 

Be conscious, though, for people who are neurodiverse, that it is quite a loud environment at peak times of day.
