How we can help
Do you cook in my home or bring the food?
We cook directly in your kitchen. This means every meal is fresh, hot and prepared exactly how you like it, and unlike frozen delivery services, you keep full control over the ingredients and flavours.
Can you cater to specific medical diets?
Yes. We often support clients with specific needs such as diabetes management, diets for heart health or texture modified diets for those with swallowing difficulties. We can follow instructions from your GP or Dietitian strictly.
Do you do the cleaning up?
Yes. We leave your kitchen spotless, washing the dishes, wiping down the benches and packing away any leftovers, so you can simply relax after your meal.
Can I go shopping with the caregiver?
Yes, we encourage it. Going to the supermarket or the local market is a great way to stay active. We can drive you there, help carry the bags and assist with unpacking at home.

Jodi Bradley
Extremely caring, attentive, always on time and just lovely people. You can really tell they are passionate about not only the physical but also the mental wellbeing of their patients. After spending a month in the Alfred hospital, they gave me the ability to move home with daily dressing changes, wound cleaning and checkups, and their care was by far the best I had received. Thank you for everything Anna, Magda and Sarah ❤️
Beau Williams

How lucky are we? Anna has been looking after my Dad for a few months and he is very impressed ( he is hard to please) with the quality and professional care he receives. He really enjoys how caring Anna is with her lovely and friendly disposition. He feels safe when in her care whether showering at home or out shopping. As a family, we cannot recommend them highly enough.
