Support to Live Independently, With the Dignity You Deserve.

Needing a little extra help with daily personal tasks is a sensitive subject. For many, it’s a topic that brings up feelings of uncertainty and a fear of losing independence. Admitting you or a loved one needs support can be one of the hardest steps to take, and the thought of inviting a stranger into your home to help with private routines is a genuine concern.

We understand. At MD Home Care, we believe that personal care is not about taking over. It’s about providing a discreet, respectful helping hand that empowers you to continue living your life the way you want to, in the comfort and familiarity of your own home.

It’s More Than Just Tasks, It’s About Trust

You’re not just looking for a caregiver; you’re looking for a partner in your wellbeing. Someone who is not only skilled but also compassionate, reliable, and completely trustworthy.

Are you worried about:

• Losing your independence or routine? We adapt to your schedule and your way of doing things, not the other way around.
• The quality or consistency of care? We strive to provide a consistent, familiar face you can build a trusting relationship with.
• A stranger in your most private space? Our team is rigorously trained in professional conduct and respecting your privacy and dignity.

We’re here to solve these worries, providing a service that feels less like a clinical service and more like support from a trusted friend.

What is Personal Care? It’s A Helping Hand.

Personal care is simply having someone to assist with the daily tasks that may have become difficult to manage on your own. It’s designed to help you maintain your personal hygiene, safety, and wellbeing, ensuring you can live comfortably and with confidence.

Our professional, person-centered support can include:

• Personal Hygiene & Grooming: Assistance with showering, bathing, dressing, and grooming to help you feel your best.
• Continence Management: Discreet and professional support with toileting and managing continence aids.
• Mobility & Transfers: Safe assistance with moving around the home, getting in and out of bed, or transferring to a chair to prevent falls.
• Medication Reminders: Gentle reminders to ensure medications are taken correctly and on schedule.

Why MD Home Care is a Partner You Can Trust

Inviting someone into your home for personal care requires the highest level of trust. We earn it through our people and our promises.

Our Caregivers: Vetted, Trained & Compassionate

We don’t use contractors. Our caregivers are part of the MD Home Care family, chosen for their empathy as much as their skills.

• Rigorous Screening: Every caregiver passes an NDIS Worker Screening Check, a police check, and multiple reference checks.
• Specialised Training: Our team receives ongoing training in manual handling, infection control, privacy, and providing person-centered care for conditions like dementia.
• The Right Match: We take the time to understand you and match you with a caregiver whose personality and skills are the right fit.

The Promise of Coordinated, Reliable Care

• A Consistent Face: Our goal is to provide a consistent primary caregiver to foster a strong, trusting relationship.
• Team-Based Approach: If your regular caregiver is sick, a fully-briefed backup from our trusted team is available, ensuring you’re never without support.
• We Work With Your Doctor: We can coordinate with your GP, specialists, or Allied Health professionals to ensure your care is seamless.

Making Funding Simple

We are experts in navigating government funding for personal care.

• Home Care Packages (HCP): Personal care is a core service available under all package levels. We help you budget and manage your funds effectively.
• NDIS Plans: This support falls under Core Supports - Assistance with Daily Life. We work with you and your plan manager to ensure you get the support you’re approved for.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I’m not comfortable with my caregiver? Your comfort is our absolute priority. If for any reason you do not feel the match is right, you can contact your Care Manager at any time. We will listen without judgment and work to find a caregiver you feel completely comfortable and safe with.

How do you protect my privacy and dignity? This is the foundation of our training. Every caregiver is trained on the Aged Care Code of Conduct and NDIS Code of Conduct, which have strict standards for privacy, dignity, and respect. We reinforce this in our regular team meetings and reviews.

Do I get a say in my care routine? Absolutely. It’s your routine. We are there to support you, not to dictate how you live. Your care plan is designed with you, and our caregivers are trained to adapt to your preferences.
