Award-winning care at home

Many people want to continue living at home for as long as possible, and there are lots of benefits that come with maintaining independence where people are most at ease.

Founded in 2018, Country to Coast Home Care Services is an award-winning home care service helping people stay comfortable and connected in their senior years.

Services are only provided to seniors in the Surf Coast region to ensure families have access to tailored and exceptional care that is “by locals, for locals”.

Country to Coast Home Care Services was a multi-category finalist in the most recent Geelong Business Excellence Awards, and director Curt Schmeissing won the Aged and Community Care Providers Association (ACCPA) 2024 Excellence Awards for Consumer Focus and Care.

Most notably, the qualified and experienced team works together with specialists and community partners in a way that breaks down the effects of a fragmented aged care system.

“The fully personalised service is delivered by a team of professionals who want to make a real difference for people, and our wider community,” managing director and founder Lucy Lincoln said.

“People often feel they are doing – and getting – something of value by supporting a local business that is also a local employer.

“Continuing to be a part of the wider community that you have been in for a long time helps protect that sense of place and security, which can be key factors in overall health.

“We aim to contribute to a stronger, more sustainable and age-friendly community overall and help make the journey a better one by helping people with their independence and choices in all aspects of their daily life.”

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.
