Support at Home Services

If your family member or friend wants to stay living at home, we help you make sense of the Support at Home program and what it means for them. We sit down with you, explain how the program works in plain language, walk through the eight ongoing levels and the short term supports available, and help you understand where your family member is likely to sit and what to expect at each stage. Where it helps, we also point you to the right assessment services and government resources, so you know exactly what your next step is.
