Chatswood is one of Sydney's most established Chinese-speaking communities, and for many older residents it is simply home — close to familiar shops, the medical centres around Victoria Avenue, and family who live nearby.
Support at Home makes staying there realistic. Rather than moving into residential care, you receive government funding to bring practical help into your own home: someone to assist with showering, a nurse to manage medications, help with the cleaning, or a lift to appointments.
Care in your own language
Our care managers and support workers speak Mandarin, Cantonese and English. If your parent is more comfortable explaining a health concern in Cantonese, they can — and nothing gets lost between them, us and their doctor.
