Nedlands Community Care

Nedlands Community Care is a community based organisation, established in 1982 by the City of Nedlands. The service is funded by the Home and Community Care Program (HACC) and is managed and sponsored by the City of Nedlands.

Nedlands Community Care embraces the Wellness Approach to care. This means that our focus is on identifying what an individual ‘can do’ for themselves rather than focusing on what they ‘cannot do’. Our friendly staff are trained in the Wellness Approach and promote and encourage client independence to enable our clients to continue living at home as long as possible.

Professional staff and volunteers work as a team to provide support services to allow elderly people, people with disabilities and their carers to remain in their own homes for as long as they wish. Services focus on facilitating client independence and include:

Domestic Assistance:
Assistance with light everyday household tasks such as cleaning or laundry.

Personal Care:
Support with daily self care such as showering and dressing.

Social Support:
Providing social contact within the home or in the community and assistance in accessing community services; Social Friday events, Out 'n' About Tours and movies at the Old Village Cinema.

Transport:
Enabling clients access to community activities and services such as shopping, bill payment or medical appointments.

Home Maintenance:
Light gardening service and lawn mowing.

Respite Care:
Providing care, supervision and assistance to clients and offering temporary relief for carers.
