Support at Home with Care Forward South

Care Forward is a not-for-profit, locally owned and operated Tasmanian community service provider.

We’ve been helping people across Tasmania live well at home since 1999. Care Forward adopts a ‘wellness’ approach in all that we do. Our philosophy of care is to maintain independence, encourage active participation and enable or re-enable our participants to make the most of their life at home.

We do this by working with you to get the best out of life.

How to access Support at Home with Care Forward

When you’ve been approved or assigned Support at Home care, one of our Liaison Officers will help you to start the process. You’ll be appointed a Clinical Care Partner who will visit you at home to conduct a comprehensive assessment of your needs based on your Single Assessment Service outcome. It may take more than one visit to complete this clinical assessment. We encourage your carer or a friend or family member to be present at these visits.

Our difference

• Our Care Partners are nurses or equivalent professionals meaning you can be confident in the clinical oversight of your support.
• We work with over 100 service providers throughout Tasmania allowing you to choose the most appropriate organisations or individuals in your area.
• We celebrate the diversity of all members of the community.
• We work closely with you to ensure that all services provided respond to your personal circumstances.
• We employ allied health professionals to provide specialist services & programs to improve your health and wellbeing at home.

We listen and learn from you

Care Forward holds regular Forums with our participants. This helps us to guide our practise to best support the Tasmanians we care for, as well as learn where we can supply better information and understanding. We also provide a newsletter to keep you up-to-date with changes in the aged care sector and to connect you to opportunities to live your very best life at home.
