As locals ourselves, we offer a level of understanding and local know-how to support customers and their families, considering their preferences, goals and lifestyle in the support we provide.
We will always take the time to match you or your loved one with Support Workers who can provide the best assistance, as well as a dedicated office support team to answer your questions. You simply tell us what you need, and we’ll work together to create a care plan.
Whether it's assistance navigating the government funding process or getting started straight away with self-funded private home care, we can work with you on a solution that meets your needs.
Receiving care is a very personal thing, and everyone has different preferences when it comes to when, how and where they receive services and support. It’s why we design all our aged care services in close consultation with each of our customers, their families and carers.
While we can support you with a range of in-home healthcare services, our professional team can also liaise with your other healthcare and allied health providers, including GPs, Physiotherapists and more—ensuring your health is always a priority.
Having a tidy, well-organised home can have a positive impact on your wellbeing. Our Support Workers can assist you with basic tasks around the home, like tidying or sweeping, to keep your home the way you like it.
Our team includes both registered and enrolled nurses who are available to fulfil a range of support requirements in your home, from administering medication to monitoring your clinical needs.
Whether you’re looking for support in getting to and from work, assistance to attend a movie or community activity, or regular transport to and from a volunteer commitment, we can make a plan that’s right for you.
Just Better Care Private offers our highest level of control, immeadiacy and flexibility so that we can fast track the support services to your home.
Shortly after services with Just Better Care I had a major lifestyle change occur, which had the potential to send me into a nursing home, which is something I'm at pains to avoid, one call to the local friendly Just Better Care team and I had access supports I needed to remain safe and indepedent at home.
My Support Worker has been exceptional she has taken the time to really get to know me, she assists me in attending appointments and speaking with health practitioners. She always ensures I have a voice.
I feel extremely empowered when in her company
I don't know where I would be without my Support Workers at Just Better Care they are always looking for ways to help and they do this so pleasantly. I have never felt more supported
Our family contacted Just Better Care Melbourne Bayside & South East Melboune (JBC) when our father, then aged 95, was in need of additional in-home help. From the outset Just Better Care were extremely helpful, understanding and constructive in tailoring the services needed for Walter’s care.
Later after a health setback they were again able, at relatively short notice, to provide additional times and hours for him. All staff were well trained, loyal, devoted and compassionate and we were able to rely on them unconditionally.
