Senior Services Guide

Finding the best aged care services can be daunting, but you’ve come to the right place!

Give it a try! Simply click on one of the 12 services listed above, type in your chosen suburb or town, and select the most suitable option from the list.

Once you’ve found what you’re looking for, you can easily print or share your results with family and friends.
Senior Services Guide is the most user-friendly aged care guide in Australia! We’ve designed it to be straightforward, so you can discover fun activities and home care services that help you or your loved ones stay comfortably at home instead of moving into residential care.

We provide all our elderly care information with your needs in mind, ensuring everything is clear and simple, without overwhelming ads. We also avoid using the confusing jargon often found in the aged care industry, as it may not be familiar to you.

You’ll discover a variety of helpful services available through government-subsidised Home Care Packages, along with private home care services that you can access right away.

Some activities we feature include exercise & fitness classes, social outings, men’s sheds, knitting, gardening, Senior Citizens centres, computer classes, citizen science, family history, U3A, and various hobbies.

You may need assistance with getting out of bed, bathing, showering, or dressing, or perhaps support with cleaning and other domestic tasks.

You’ll find services that assist with mowing your lawn, weeding, pruning, and others that offer friendly help by changing light globes and performing handyman jobs around the home.

Perhaps you could use a hand making the bed, doing the washing, ironing, or other laundry tasks. You might also need help with shopping, banking, collecting prescriptions, or paying bills. Additionally, there are home care services that provide transport to doctors’ appointments, shopping, hairdressers, hospitals, pharmacies, activities, and family events.

You might choose to have someone help you cook meals or have pre-prepared meals delivered by providers like Meals on Wheels. You can even arrange social support through friendly home visits, outings, and other activities that enhance the quality of life for seniors living at home. And to ensure your safety while living independently, you can opt for a personal alarm that can call for help at the press of a button. That’s true peace of mind!

Did you know? You can find aged care services for any location across Australia. So whether you are seeking help for yourself or a loved one, Senior Services Guide will show you the services available in your specific area.
