What we can help with
Lakes Home Care supports older people to live safely and independently at home. Our trained local staff can help with:
- Personal care: showering, dressing, grooming and continence support
- Domestic assistance: cleaning, laundry and shopping
- Home and garden maintenance: gardening, yard work and minor jobs around the home
- Meals: meal preparation and help with eating well
- Social support: company, outings and help staying connected to your community
- Transport: getting to appointments, shopping and social activities
- Care management: a local coordinator who plans and reviews your care with you
We deliver these services through two government programs.
Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP)
This program is for people who need a little help with one or two things, such as cleaning, gardening or getting to appointments, so they can keep managing well at home.
Support at Home
This program is for people who need more help or several different services. You receive a budget based on your assessed needs, and your coordinator builds a care plan around your goals. Find out more about Support at Home.
Who is eligible?
You may be eligible if you are:
- aged 65 or over, or
- an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person aged 50 or over, or
- aged 50 or over and homeless or at risk of homelessness
and you need help with everyday tasks to keep living independently at home. Carers can also get in touch on behalf of the person they care for.
We support people across the Fleurieu region, including Milang, Clayton, Strathalbyn and surrounding areas.
What does it cost?
The Australian Government funds most of the cost of your care. Depending on the program and the services you receive, you may be asked to pay a contribution. Under Support at Home, clinical care, including personal care from 1 October 2026, is fully funded. See our Fees page for details, or give us a call and we’ll talk you through it.
