The Benefits of Receiving Care in Your Own Home

The Benefits of Receiving Care in Your Own Home

For many people with disability, staying in their own home is about more than comfort — it’s about independence, dignity, and the freedom to live life on their terms. Thanks to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), receiving care at home is now more accessible than ever.

In-home care allows participants to receive personalised support without having to move into a residential facility. Let’s explore the many benefits of receiving care in your own home, and why it could be the right choice for you or your loved one.

What is In-Home NDIS Care?

In-home care under the NDIS refers to supports delivered directly in the participant’s home. These supports are tailored to the individual and may include:

• Personal care (e.g. showering, grooming, medication reminders)

• Household assistance (e.g. cleaning, laundry, cooking)

• Support with routines, time management, and budgeting

• Social support and help accessing the community

The aim is to help participants live safely and independently in their own environment.

Key Benefits of Receiving Care at Home

1. Comfort and Familiarity

There’s no place like home. Receiving care in your own environment means participants can remain surrounded by familiar routines, possessions, and community. This sense of comfort reduces stress and helps promote emotional wellbeing.

2. Greater Independence

In-home support is designed to encourage independence. Participants can practise life skills, manage daily routines, and learn to take more control of their lives — all with the reassurance of support when needed.

3. Personalised, One-on-One Care

Unlike residential settings where support is shared among many residents, in-home care allows for tailored, individualised support. Every plan is adjusted to match the participant’s goals and needs.

4. Flexibility and Choice

With in-home care, participants decide how, when, and what type of support they receive. Whether it’s a few hours per week or daily assistance, the flexibility ensures care fits into the participant’s lifestyle.

5. Social and Family Connection

Staying at home often means staying connected to family, neighbours, and community. Participants can maintain strong social ties and continue to take part in community activities with support when needed.

6. Cost-Effective Support

In many cases, receiving care at home can be more cost-effective than moving into a residential facility, particularly when funded through the NDIS under Core Supports – Assistance with Daily Life.

Who Can Benefit from In-Home Care?

In-home care is suitable for a wide range of NDIS participants, including those who:

• Require daily personal care or household assistance

• Want to live independently but need some support

• Prefer staying at home rather than moving into supported accommodation

• Need flexible support that adapts as their circumstances change
