NDIS In-Home Care in Adelaide
Care Assure delivers NDIS in-home disability care right across metropolitan Adelaide, from the northern suburbs through to the south. Support comes to you, in your own home, on your own terms.
NDIS In-Home Care Across Metropolitan Adelaide
Adelaide is spread out, and that matters more than most providers admit. A support worker who has to cross the city twice a day is likely to arrive late. Care Assure staffs by region rather than dispatching from one central point, which is why we can commit to consistent workers in the northern suburbs around Salisbury, Elizabeth, Smithfield, Parafield Gardens and Davoren Park, through the inner suburbs at Prospect, Walkley Heights, Hillcrest and Modbury, and out to Port Adelaide, Marion, Christies Beach and Reynella in the south. The person who comes to your door should be someone you already know.
How In-Home Care Is Funded
In-home care is funded through the Core Supports budget in your NDIS plan. Most of it falls under Assistance with Daily Life, which covers personal care, household tasks and meal preparation. Getting out into the community is funded under Assistance with Social and Community Participation. Clinical supports such as enteral feeding or catheter care are funded separately under High Intensity Daily Personal Activities, which is why they require a nurse-written care plan. If you are not sure which of these your plan includes, bring it to us, and we will go through it line by line.
In-Home Care or SIL: Which One Do You Need?
These get confused often enough that it is worth being blunt. In-home care means you live in your own home, and support workers come to you for set hours, agreed in advance. Supported Independent Living means you live in a home where support is provided on site, usually shared with others, often with staff there around the clock. In-home care suits people who want to stay put with some help. SIL suits people whose support needs are high enough that on-site staffing is the only workable answer. Care Assure provides across Adelaide, and if you are genuinely unsure which one fits, that is a conversation rather than a form.
What In-Home Care Covers in Adelaide
Every one of the supports below is delivered to your own home in Adelaide. What you receive depends on what your NDIS plan funds, and we will tell you honestly if your plan does not stretch to something.
Personal Care at Home
Help with showering, dressing, grooming, toileting and continence support, delivered by workers who are trained for it and who you get to know. This is usually the first support people ask about and the one where consistency matters most, so we roster the same faces wherever we can. Funded under the Assistance with Daily Life in your Core Supports budget.
Household Tasks and Domestic Assistance
Cleaning, laundry, linen changes, dishes and general tidying, so the house does not become the thing that wears you down. We can do this as a standalone visit or fold it into the same visit as personal care, which is generally a better value if your plan funds both.
Meal Preparation and Nutrition Support
Shopping, planning, cooking and help at mealtimes. Where there are swallowing difficulties or a modified diet in place, our mealtime management is overseen by a registered nurse rather than left to individual workers to interpret.
Community Access and Transport
Getting to appointments, work, study, the shops or anywhere else. In a city as spread out as Adelaide, this is often the difference between a plan that works and one that sits unused. Funded under Assistance with Social and Community Participation.
Overnight and Sleepover Support
Active overnight support where someone needs assistance through the night, or a sleepover arrangement where the need is mainly reassurance and occasional help. Which one your plan funds depends on how often after-hours support is genuinely needed.
Medication Support
Prompting, assistance and administration depending on what your plan and care plan allow. Where medication needs to be administered rather than prompted, that sits under our registered nurse governance framework.
Social Support and Companionship
Time with someone, on purpose. Not a filler service, and one of the more commonly underused parts of a plan. It covers company at home, getting out for a coffee, or support to keep up an interest or a routine that matters to you.
In-Home Nursing and Clinical Support in Adelaide
Some supports need a clinician behind them, not just a support worker with good intentions. Our high-intensity in-home supports run under registered nurse care plan governance, covering enteral feeding, dysphagia and mealtime management, catheter and stoma care, tracheostomy and ventilation support, injections, and management of epilepsy and diabetes. Funded through High Intensity Daily Personal Activities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- What is NDIS in-home care?
In-home care is support delivered in your home rather than in a facility. Under the NDIS, it covers personal care, help with household tasks, meal preparation, community access and overnight assistance, funded through the Core Supports budget in your plan.
- Does Care Assure deliver in-home care across all of Adelaide?
Yes. We support participants from the northern suburbs around Salisbury and Elizabeth through to Marion, Christies Beach and Reynella in the south, and we staff by region so you get consistent workers.
- Is this the same as a Home Care Package?
No. Home Care Packages are aged care funding administered through My Aged Care. Care Assure delivers NDIS disability supports, which are a separate scheme with separate eligibility. If you are over 65 and not already an NDIS participant, aged care is likely the right pathway.
- Can I get nursing support at home?
Yes. Our high-intensity in-home supports are governed by a registered nurse care plan and cover enteral feeding, catheter and stoma care, tracheostomy and ventilation support, and epilepsy and diabetes management.
- How many hours of in-home support can I get?
That depends on what your plan funds. Our team can review your Core Supports budget with you and explain what it covers, at no cost and with no obligation.
- Do I need to be in an SDA or SIL home to use this?
No. In-home care is for people living in their own home, whether that is a private rental, a family home or their own property. SIL is a different type of support for shared or supported accommodation.
