Domestic Assistance & Personal Care for Elderly Clients

Living at home as we age is a goal for many Australians—but staying independent often requires a little help. That’s where EnableU’s personal care and domestic assistance services make a real difference. We support seniors across Heidelberg, Brunswick, Coburg, Preston and surrounding suburbs with practical, respectful, in-home help.

What Is Domestic Assistance?

Domestic assistance refers to everyday household tasks that keep your environment clean, safe, and functional. These are often the first tasks seniors need help with as they age.

Our Services Include:

• Vacuuming and mopping
• Changing bedsheets
• Cleaning bathrooms and kitchens
• Doing laundry and ironing
• Meal preparation or food delivery coordination
• Running errands like pharmacy visits or grocery shopping

Personal Care: Maintaining Dignity and Hygiene

Personal care is more intimate. It includes tasks like:

• Showering or bathing
• Toileting and continence support
• Dressing and grooming
• Mobility and transferring assistance

Why It Matters:

Having a consistent, qualified support worker helps clients feel safe, confident, and respected. We train our team to approach every task with compassion and professionalism—because every person deserves dignity.

Multilingual Carers Available

EnableU recognises the cultural diversity of Melbourne’s north. We match clients with workers who understand your language and preferences whenever possible—whether you speak Arabic, Greek, Mandarin, Italian, or another language common in your area.

Who Delivers These Services?

Our domestic assistants and personal care workers are police-checked, experienced, and trained in aged care. We prioritise continuity—so you can build rapport and feel comfortable with the same few faces visiting your home regularly.

How to Access Help at Home

You can access these services through:

• Home Care Packages – Level 1 to 4 depending on your assessed need
• Private arrangements if you're not yet approved for government funding
• Short-term transitional care after a hospital visit

Client Spotlight: Help After a Fall

After a fall, 79-year-old Maria from Fawkner was nervous about showering alone. EnableU provided a female care worker to assist with morning hygiene, dressing, and breakfast—helping Maria regain her confidence and stay in her own home.

Tailoring Support to Your Daily Routine

No two clients are the same. Whether you need a one-hour visit every few days, or full daily support, we build care plans that fit your needs, budget, and lifestyle.
