Double Bay has long been one of the most desirable places to grow older in Sydney. The village atmosphere, harbourside walks and easy access to shops, cafes and medical services make it a suburb where many residents want to stay, even as their care needs change. Expert Health Services supports older residents of Double Bay to remain in their own home with the right level of clinical and personal support, funded through a home care package or the Support at Home Program.
We work with residents aged 65 and over, and First Nations people aged 50 and over, providing nursing, personal care, domestic assistance, allied health and nurse practitioner visits directly in the home.
Signs It May Be Time for Extra Support at Home
Many families in Double Bay reach out to us after noticing small changes, such as a parent finding it harder to manage stairs, forgetting medication, or no longer keeping up with cleaning and cooking the way they once did. These changes do not always mean a move into residential care is necessary. Often, the right mix of home based support is enough to keep a person safe, healthy and comfortable in the home they know.
If you have noticed any of these changes in a loved one in Double Bay, our team can arrange an assessment and explain what support may be available.
How Our Home Care Services in Double Bay Work
Home Care Services Available in Double Bay
Nursing Care at Home
Registered and enrolled nurses attend Double Bay homes to manage wound care, medication administration, catheter and stoma care, and recovery after a hospital stay or surgery. Visits are arranged around your schedule and coordinated closely with your GP.
Personal Care Support
Our carers assist with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting and general mobility, always with an emphasis on privacy, patience and dignity. Support can be arranged for a single visit a week through to daily assistance, depending on your assessed care needs.
Nurse Practitioner Home Visits
Our nurse practitioner sees clients in their Double Bay home for chronic disease management, medication review, wound assessment and specialist referrals. These consultations are billed through Medicare, so eligible clients are not charged for the visit. Telehealth follow up appointments are also available.
Domestic Assistance
Household tasks such as vacuuming, laundry, grocery shopping and meal preparation can become difficult to manage alone. Our domestic assistance service helps Double Bay residents keep their home clean, organised and comfortable, either as a standalone service or alongside other funded supports.

Allied Health Support
We arrange visits from physiotherapists, occupational therapists and podiatrists for clients recovering from a fall or surgery, managing balance or mobility concerns, or needing a home safety assessment. All allied health visits take place in the home and are coordinated as part of your overall care plan.
Paying for Home Care in Double Bay
Government Funded Care
Through the Support at Home Program, eligible older Australians receive a funded budget that can cover nursing, personal care, domestic assistance and allied health. If you are not yet registered with My Aged Care, our team can help you through the assessment process and explain what level of funding you may qualify for.
Private and Self Funded Care
Some clients choose to arrange care privately, either while waiting on an assessment or because it suits their circumstances better. We offer clear, transparent pricing with no lock in contracts for private clients in Double Bay.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Care in Point Piper
1. Is home care in Double Bay covered by the government?
Eligible older Australians can access funded home care in Double Bay through the Support at Home Program, following an assessment through My Aged Care. Our team can guide you through this process from start to finish.
2. What is the difference between a nurse practitioner and a registered nurse?
A nurse practitioner can assess, diagnose and prescribe medication, and their consultations are billed through Medicare. A registered nurse carries out clinical tasks such as wound care and medication administration as part of an ongoing care plan. Many clients in Double Bay use both services together.
3. How soon can services start for a private paying client in Double Bay?
For clients paying privately, services can often begin within a few days of the initial enquiry. Government funded services depend on completing your My Aged Care assessment first.
4. Can care be arranged for someone living with dementia in Double Bay?
Yes. Our carers and nurses have experience supporting clients living with dementia, and we prioritise familiar, consistent staff to help maintain routine and reduce confusion or anxiety.
5. Do you work with family members who live outside Sydney?
Yes. Many of our Double Bay clients have adult children living interstate or overseas. We keep families informed through regular updates and are happy to include them in care planning discussions by phone or video call.
