CareAbout

Carers Victoria has partnered with CareAbout to help carers find the right Aged Care options for their loved ones.

Our Partnership with CareAbout

Often, it can be a shock to see your parent or a loved one becoming frail or struggling with even small things, like house cleaning or preparing meals, and less able to look after themselves.

We often hear from carers that knowing where to start, or where to go next can be very overwhelming.

That’s why we’ve partnered with CareAbout.

CareAbout are experts in helping families looking for aged care services navigate the process and find the best care options for their loved one, whether that be in their own home, so they can continue living independently, or in residential care.

The government provides generous support through the Home Care Package Program. Try CareAbout’s Home Care Calculator to see how much your loved one could receive to help them stay safely at home.

You can also download this handy guide to Home Care, which will answer all your questions and point you in the right direction.

CareAbout helps families navigate their way through the care options and find quality providers for home care packages or Residential Aged Care Facilities.

About CareAbout

CareAbout was built from the sole belief that no one should ever feel alone when seeking quality aged care. Now, CareAbout, built as a free solution, has helped over 135,000+ families Australia-wide to navigate the aged care system and find the quality care they deserve.

Whether you are searching for a Residential Aged Care facility or a Support at Home provider, CareAbout can provide you with expert advice and personalised recommendations to help meet your needs - at no cost to you.

With more than 900+ providers nationwide, CareAbout cuts through the noise and gets straight to the 1:1 recommendation for a vetted provider from their handpicked panel - solely based on your personal care needs. 

Generous government supports are available to help older Australians remain living at home, however, not everyone is familiar with the range of supports available and how to navigate the complex application processes. The right up-to-date information can make an enormous difference when you or a loved one needs to access additional support, and that’s where CareAbout comes in. 

CareAbout looks to understand the stage you are at, your needs, budget and preferences and then matches you with a handpicked quality Support at Home provider, or alternatively, provides a curated list of Aged Care facilities to tour.

Since helping their very first customer in 2017, CareAbout has guided over 80,000 families on their Aged Care journey, offering expert advice, personal recommendations, and most importantly, clarity to empower you to understand your care options during an otherwise challenging and stressful journey.
