When it comes to aged and elderly care, you’re not alone in wanting to remain in your own home, surrounded by the things you love, with the people you know, within a community that you’re familiar. In fact, when the right elderly care support services are in place, living out our lives in our own homes leads to enriched living, greater satisfaction and better health outcomes.
However, our loved ones need the satisfaction and reassurance of knowing that we are safe, healthy and happy as we age. They need to know that changes in our health are not putting us at risk, that our homes are safe as we become frailer, and that our comfort and medical needs are fully met.
We meet with you and the significant people in your life, identify your health and personal needs, and make sure you have the information you need to make informed choices about your home care options. Then we work closely with you in designing an aged care solution. For more information.
At Golden Bridge, we improvise and adjust the support combinations to remain in step with you and your changing elderly care needs.

The duration of your service is completely flexible. Our generous, three-hour sessions mean that you may need us only once or twice a week, or perhaps for a period of time each day:
1. Live-in or 24-hour care
2. Casual, respite or infrequent care
3. Daily through to weekly care
4. Overnight care
Golden Bridge can arrange as little or as much respite as you need, so that you can have a break too. We are unobtrusive, experienced and friendly. Best of all, you won’t have to worry when you take time off to look after yourself.
In this time, we have gained status as an industry leader. Our services are fully insured, our nurses, LPNs and care givers meet national training standards and have undergone careful screening and police checks. An important part of our service (which sets us apart from other home care providers) is the ongoing, active supervision from an experienced registered nurse care coordinator who has a capped case load lower than the industry standard.
Golden Bridge are the experts in health funding and can help you understand and get the most out of consumer-directed government funding. We also have many years of experience helping individuals and families navigate their way through the challenges and emotions of arranging private care, including providing complementary services your funding does not cover.
