Social Support
Keeping you socially connected
Keeping socially active is an important part of your routine and at KinCare we support your social activities and connections as part of your general health and wellbeing. Whether you have an established routine and need some support with transport or accessing community events, or would like social visits at home with our friendly Home Care Workers your KinCare Customer Care Manager will work through the options for you to choose what works for you.
Social activity support can also include regular visits to the shops, attending personal appointments of your choosing or facilitating events like a morning tea with your friends at home or a favourite location.

Christopher, KinCare Customer
I've been with KinCare about six years and every time they come they do a good job. It's not just the cleaning that we appreciate, it's also that they are social with my wife and I - and we enjoy that. The companionship is very important.

Funding Aged Care
The Commonwealth Government provides two types of subsidy to help fully, or partially fund in home support services. Your eligibility for these subsidies will depend on your personal circumstances. If you are not eligible to receive government funding, you can still access KinCare services privately.
