Country to Coast Home Care Services founded in 2018, is an award-winning home care service provider helping people stay comfortable and connected, in their senior years.<\/p>\n

Services are only provided to seniors on the Surf Coast and surrounds to ensure local families have access to tailored and exceptional care.<\/p>\n

Managing director and founder Lucy Lincoln said care was fully personalised.<\/p>\n

“Our team works together with specialists and community partners in a way that breaks down the effects of a fragmented aged care system.<\/p>\n

“We only ever employ qualified staff who are committed to making a real difference for people, and who will help make the journey a better one.<\/p>\n

“We are a service ‘by locals, for locals’ and the overall flow-on effects this brings to the community is one of our key points of difference. We aim to build and contribute to a stronger, more sustainable and age-friendly community overall.”<\/p>\n

Many people would like to continue living at home for as long as possible, and there are many benefits that come with maintaining independence where you are most at ease.<\/p>\n

“Continuing to do what brings you joy and keeping connections helps protect that sense of place and security, which can be key factors in overall health,” Ms Lincoln said.<\/p>\n

“The team serves the older generation with respect and reverence and people often feel they are doing \u2013 and getting \u2013 something of value by supporting a local business, that is also a\u00a0local employer.”<\/p>\n

Country to Coast Home Care Services is a finalist in the 2024 Geelong Business Excellence Awards, and Director Curt Schmeissing recently won The Aged and Community Care Providers Association (ACCPA) 2024 Excellence Awards for Consumer Focus and Care.<\/p>\n

Country to Coast Home Care Services shares the Elder Rights Advocacy’s mission for a diverse, vibrant, multicultural community, where older people are respected, heard, well-informed, and can exercise their rights and responsibilities with confidence. Elder Rights Advocacy is also a member of the Older Person’s Advocacy Network.<\/p>\n
