In-Home Aged Care Western Melbourne

Our Approach

Ageing Well Starts at Home

At Aevitas Care, we believe the best place to age is in the home you love, surrounded by the memories and comfort that make it yours. Our in-home aged care services are designed to support older Australians to maintain their independence, dignity, and quality of life — on their own terms.

Whether you need a few hours of help each week or more intensive daily support, our warm and experienced team is here for you. We take time to understand your preferences, your routines, and what matters most to you before we even begin.

Common Questions

Aged Care FAQs

How do I qualify for a Home Care Package?

You need to be assessed by the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). Contact My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 or visit myagedcare.gov.au to register and request an assessment. Once assessed, you'll be assigned a package level and can choose Aevitas Care as your provider.

Can I choose my own support workers?

Absolutely. We work hard to match you with support workers who suit your personality, preferences, and cultural background. Consistency matters to us — you'll generally see the same familiar faces each visit, which builds trust and comfort.

What if my needs change over time?

We review care plans regularly and can adjust services as your needs change — whether that means increasing hours, adding new services, or helping you transition to a higher package level. We're with you for the long term.

Are your workers trained in dementia care?

Yes. All our support workers complete dementia awareness training, and workers assigned to clients with dementia receive additional specialised training. We use person-centred care approaches and ensure consistent carers to maintain familiarity and reduce anxiety.

Do you provide services on weekends and public holidays?

Yes. We provide flexible scheduling including weekends and public holidays. We understand that care needs don't follow a Monday-to-Friday calendar, and we work with you to create a schedule that fits your life.
