In-Home Care
Save your energy, maintain your independence
Keeping your home clean, tidy and well maintained takes considerable time and effort. And you have to keep putting that effort in day after day after day.
Wouldn’t you rather save your energy for something you enjoy?
In-home care lifts the burden of household chores and helps you maintain your health, hygiene and community connections. That frees you up to spend more time pursuing your hobbies or socialising with your friends and family.
Benefits of In-home Aged Care Brisbane
Your home is special. This is where you raised your children, relaxed after a hard day’s work, and celebrated countless family birthdays and Christmasses. There really is no place like it.
Of course you want to stay in your own home. And, with the right help, you can.
In-home aged care can include a wide range of different services depending on your needs. It helps you maintain your independence and continue living at home. Someone else can now teeter atop a ladder changing the light globes or tip-toe on wet, slippy floors after mopping them. That keeps you safe, reducing the risk of falls which can seriously compromise your independence and wellbeing.
If you need it, your carers can also help with:
Personal care like helping you shower, shave, wash your hair or dress
Getting your home modified to make it easier and safer for you to live there, such as installing shower rails or ramps
Maintaining your health by ensuring you take the right medications at the right time, get to your health appointments or do your physiotherapy exercises.

MY PLACE
MY WELLBEING
MY COMMUNITY
Focused Health Care is a family business with client-focused policies like a 1-hour minimum shift that lets you spread your care out over the week rather than being forced to use it all up in one session.
It’s important to us that you feel comfortable with the carers in your home. That’s why we carefully match clients and carers then send you a consistent team of carers so you can get to know them well.
We will also help you understand the funding options available to you to ensure that you are getting the most value. We then work with you to provide the services you need with flexibility and choice so that you are in control of your care. One way to access these services is through a home care package.
In-home Disability Care (NDIS) Brisbane
If you live with a disability, then in-home care can help you live independently and pursue your work, education or interests.
Your carers can support you by keeping your place clean and well-maintained, helping you with personal hygiene and grooming, and assisting with meal preparation. We can also help you get out and about to maintain your community connections.
Focused Health Care is a registered National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) service provider in Brisbane, meaning we meet government safety and quality standards for providing services and care to people with a disability.
Focused Health Care is here to help you
You can access our services as a private client or by using your NDIS funding. Here’s how we can help you.
Support Coordination
Understand how we implement your plan & connect you with the community
Focused Health Care’s support coordination service helps you to understand and implement your plan, linking you to community, mainstream and government services.

Respite Services for Carers
It’s OK to need a break
Caring for someone is a labour of love. You may be providing intense, round-the-clock support or you may be popping in on a regular basis. You may be cooking and delivering meals, cleaning up, or helping your loved one bathe and dress.
You do it for love. But it is hard work too. From time to time, you need a break to refresh yourself. That’s where our respite care service comes in.
Focused Health Care provides respite care across Brisbane to give carers a much-needed breather, knowing that your loved one is in good hands.
We can:
- Do the day-to-day tasks that you normally do for your loved one
- Take care of meal preparation
- Help your loved one with personal care
- Provide some social activities
- Stay overnight so you can get some uninterrupted sleep, either in your own bed or by treating yourself to a night in a hotel.
Our respite services can be used at short notice on those times when it all gets too much. However, if you can, we do encourage you to plan your regular respite to refresh and sustain yourself. Taking care of yourself and recharging helps you to be a better carer in the long run.
