One-on-one support 

Making independence easier with flexible in-home, out-of-home and respite support.  

At Neighbourhood Link we help people stay active, connected and as independent as possible. Our free or low-cost support services are funded in full or part by government initiatives. Our friendly team can help you in all sorts of ways, including:

  • in-home visits - helping with everyday tasks, like making lunch and tidying up, or just to stop by for a cuppa and a chat 
  • accompanied activities - running errands, helping with shopping, taking you to catch-ups with friends
  • flexible respite - helping caregivers take a break, so caregivers and care receivers can maintain healthy relationships - we offer respite support in your home (so you caregiver can go out) or in the community (so your caregiver can enjoy a break at home).

The wellness approach

The Neighbourhood Link program embraces the wellness approach to Home and Community Care. This means that our staff, volunteers and students work with our participants in a manner that encourages their enhanced independence, capacity building and wellbeing.
