One from each kind of care. Everything else Melville Cares Support At Home prices is in the list above.
Weekday prices unless you choose another day for a service; greyed-out days have no published price. A planning estimate, not a quote: the provider confirms prices and availability. Quarterly figures use a 13-week planning period.
Services Australia confirms your contribution rates and your provider confirms the amount charged. Available Support at Home funding, the lifetime cap and financial hardship may change what you pay. We don’t save your answers about your situation.

Great people. We've experienced sub-par performance with other (much more expensive) home carers. And lots of very minor elderly abuse (such as cleaners asking if they can leave after half an hour - despite 2hrs being listed on the bill). Enough abuse to make it clear to never put my Mother in "a home". These guys are not-for-profit, which essentially means they employ a lot of people. The for-profits are very greedy ($100/hr for care-workers instead of $65 with much larger management fees). With Melville Cares you get the feeling that they do care. I actually delivered a walking frame to Mum while she was at the day centre. It was like walking onto the set of Risky Business. Everyone was having a big party (some even wearing sunglasses inside). I knew at that moment that me and my sister had made the right decision with regards to Mum. Perfect home care organisation. Plus, weirdly, even though they are half the price of for-profits such as Amana Living and Silverchain, workers are much better paid. And to my mind - a lot happier and less "constricted". Easy decision. Mind you, we tried a few "short term home care packages" - I'd recommend you do the same. But actually I'd recommend Melville Cares to anyone. Much better organised too! Well done guys - and thanks for looking after my Alzheimer's riddled Mother. :)
