Capecare

A holiday, with the care and support needed.

For visitors who receive home care, or have an older family member who does, there’s no need to leave that support behind when going on holiday.

Capecare's Home Care on Holiday service helps guests continue receiving the care they need at their holiday accommodation, whether they're staying in a hotel, resort, holiday rental, private holiday home or with family and friends.

Depending on individual needs, services may include:

• Personal care: Assistance with showering, dressing and everyday routines.

• Medication and nursing support: Help with medication routines and clinically appropriate nursing care.

• Meal preparation: Assistance with preparing meals at the accommodation.

• Social support and companionship: Helping guests stay connected and enjoy their time away.

• Respite for family carers: Planned support so family members can enjoy a break or attend activities and celebrations.

Whether travelling independently, as a couple or with family, Capecare’s experienced team will work with each guest to understand their care requirements and plan suitable support during their stay.

Using an existing home care package

Already receiving home care? Capecare can work with a guest’s existing provider to explore using their Support at Home package during their holiday. Alternatively, services can be arranged privately.

Where is the service available?

Home Care on Holiday is available in Busselton, Dunsborough, Margaret River and selected surrounding areas. All services are subject to individual assessment, location, accommodation suitability and staff availability.

Plan ahead for a holiday

Capecare recommends contacting its Community Home Care team as early as possible, particularly during summer, school holidays and the wedding season, to discuss care needs and allow time for arrangements to be made.
