3. Domestic assistance

4. Community access
Transport and accompaniment to doctors' appointments, specialists, pathology, pharmacy, banking, shopping, social clubs and veteran gatherings, including support while you are there.
Respect for your service
Care that fits the way you live
Many veterans tell us they would rather manage alone than have strangers rotating through the house. We keep teams small and consistent, introduce carers before they start, and write the plan around your routine rather than ours.
At Loving Hands Care, clinical oversight is not outsourced. A registered nurse assesses you at home, trains the carers on your plan, monitors wounds and medications, and coordinates with your GP, DVA and any hospital team involved.
Partners and carers are supported too. If you also need aged care support, see our aged care services, or read more about our clinical community nursing and in-home care options.
