Abled Care Private home care gives family member’s peace of mind
Caring for an aging loved one or someone with a disability can be overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be lonely.
Private home care offers a flexible, responsive solution that keeps your loved one supported in the place they cherish most: home.
Why Families Choose Private Home Care
Private home care is becoming an increasingly popular option for families who want control, flexibility, and personalised support. Whether you’re supporting a parent living with dementia or a loved one with a disability who values their independence, private in-home care provides one-on-one attention that’s both compassionate and convenient.
Unlike government-subsidised services, private home care allows families to shape a plan around their loved one’s lifestyle—not the other way around.
Meet Helen & George: A Family’s Private Home Care Journey
George, a retired schoolteacher living on the Central Coast, had always been fiercely independent. But after a fall at home and a diagnosis of early-stage dementia, things began to change.
His daughter Helen, juggling her full-time job and family life in Sydney, knew George needed more than occasional visits. What he really needed was daily companionship, a bit of domestic help, and someone to check in on his health and safety.
That’s when Helen reached out to Abled Care Services.
“I didn’t want Dad to feel like he was giving up his independence,” Helen shared. “But I also knew he wasn’t safe on his own all the time. Private care gave us that perfect middle ground.”
The Benefits of a Private Pay Model
For Helen and George, opting for the private pay model offered freedom and flexibility. George had too many assets to qualify for a government-funded package and was reluctant to undergo formal assessments.
Helen appreciated that private home care didn’t require waiting lists or red tape. Within days, George was paired with a support worker he instantly connected with.
“The process was smooth and respectful. Abled Care took the time to understand who my father was—not just what help he needed.”
Care as Unique as Your Loved One
At Abled Care and Nursing Services, we believe care should be as unique as the person receiving it. George’s personalised care plan included:
Morning check-ins and medication reminders
Light cleaning and meal prep
Weekly social outings to his favourite café in Gosford
Quiet companionship during afternoons at home
As George’s needs shifted, the plan was adjusted—proving the true value of responsive, person-centred care.
The Value of Control, Connection & Peace of Mind
What stood out to Helen the most wasn’t just the quality of care—it was the peace of mind.
“I could finally stop worrying. Knowing Dad was eating well, staying social, and being looked after by someone he trusted—it changed everything.”
Private care gave their family the gift of control. They could decide who provided support, how often, and what tasks were most important. And when it came time to explore more structured options, Helen learned that Abled Care and Nursing Services also offers Supported Independent Living (SIL) options in Gosford—something she’s now keeping in mind for the future.
