Heart Disease Care

Tailored In-Home Support – Care That Feels Like a Helping Hand      

We can help with personal care, mobility support, dressing, bathing and helping you move about your abode safely. If you need assistance with medications, we make sure that prescriptions are taken on time, at the right dosage and according to your doctor’s instructions. But it’s also about the mind and spirit because heart health isn’t just about the body, our services also include compassionate companionship. 

Coordination with Healthcare Providers – A Team Approach to Heart Health

Our support workers follow your doctor’s advice about medications, physical activity, and lifestyle changes to make sure that everything we help you with at home contributes to your heart health. If physiotherapy, rehabilitation exercises or a special diet are prescribed by your medical team, we will work alongside them to ensure you receive the appropriate exercise guidance and continuity at home.

Our endeavor here is to provide an integrated care approach for heart patients, ensuring that nothing is missed between treatment and day to day lifestyle management.

Expertly Trained Caregivers – The Heart of Our Heart Disease Home Care

Letting someone into your home, into your life, means you deserve a caregiver who is not just qualified, but deeply compassionate, skilled, and committed to your well-being. And that’s why we aimed high.

We are a lifeline, a buddy and a comforting presence for those living with heart disease. All of our staff members are carefully selected and trained to provide your care with warmth, empathy, and genuine commitment.

When your (or your loved one’s) care needs to be a significant step beyond what’s offered on a basic level, you can feel confident leaving it in the hands and hearts of Support Network.”

Trained & Certified Professionals

With our training in cardiovascular care, our caregivers have the knowledge and practical experience to ensure that they support heart disease patients accurately and confidently.

Our team consists of certified professionals from Australia's leading healthcare programs, such as:

• Certificate III & IV in Individual Support (Aged Care & Disability) – Building your credential in personal care, mobility assistance, and chronic condition management.
• First Aid & CPR Certification (Cardiac Emergencies Emphasis) – This certification focuses on life saving measures for heart issues.
• Manual Handling & Mobility Assistance Training – Moving clients safely, to avoid strain or undue loading on the heart.
• Medication Management & Monitoring Certification – administration of medication in an effective, timely, and medically appropriate manner.

Training is only half of their power, of course. At Support Network, we know that good care isn’t just about technique — it’s about people. This is why we train our caregivers in things like empathy, emotional support, and patient engagement.

Why Our Caregivers Stand Out

Our support team is well trained, and while many organizations can claim that about their staff, it’s how we train them that really distinguishes Support Network.

We don’t simply assign caregivers — we match you with the right person. Considering each individual’s personality, preferences, and medical requirements to guarantee that you or your loved one is comfortable, understood and sincere care is provided.

We are more than just physical care, we are a part of your support system. Our caregivers establish true relationships with their clients, offering companionship, tranquility and a friendly touch, not just help.

Medication & Health Monitoring – A Key Part of Heart Disease Home Care

Medication is more than just swallowing a pill — it’s about stability, prevention and making sure each dose is doing right by your heart. For people living with heart disease, skipping a dose or forgetting to take medications around the same time each day can lead to serious repercussions, and we won’t let that happen.”

Change in blood pressure, oxygen levels, or heart rate that is subtle and would not merit intervention before it has become an emergency. Our caregivers don’t follow a checklist; they pay attention, they notice changes and they take action.

With Support Network, you don’t simply receive support—you receive careful, proactive help that ensures you or your loved one are safe and stable, and able to live well.

Ensuring Medication Adherence – No Missed Doses, No Risks

Medications are a lifeline for patients with heart disease, and taking them properly should be nonnegotiable. But we know that it can be hard to keep track of prescriptions — different medications, different times a day, dosages changing and refill schedules, and whether or not to take something with food or on an empty stomach.

At Support Network, we relieve you of that responsibility.

We make sure each medicine is taken correctly (right time, right way). In cases where a client may forget doses, we can use reminders, easy-to-follow instructions, and caregiver support to overcome this potential issue. If medications need refills, we talk to pharmacies, set up pickups, and make sure nothing accidentally runs out.

It’s not just a matter of optimizing a schedule — it’s about providing you and your family with the peace of mind that comes with knowing medications are administered consistently and safely.

Post-Hospitalization Care – Recovering Faster, Safer, and Stronger

Returning home after a heart surgery or emergency can be a little bit daunting. You’re supposed to rest, recover, take medications when due, follow rehabilitation orders and watch out for complications — but what if you don’t have someone to watch over it all?

That’s where we step in.

At Support Network we provide post-hospitalization care which ensures that your recovery is safe, seamless and fully supported. We provide:

• Managing the medication to mitigate confusion or missed doses.
• Monitoring symptoms and pain so that no red flags are missed.
• Support with walking and rehabilitation exercises, to start building strength.
• Coordinating doctor appointments to stay on top of follow-ups

This is not just care; it’s an organized, deliberate plan to keep patients from coming back in, to alleviate some of that stress and make recovery as easy as it can be.

Tracking Vital Signs – Catching Issues Before They Escalate

Heart disease is something that must be monitored all the time. A slight dip in blood pressure, an abnormal heart rate, or an undetected shift in oxygen levels can sound an alarm — one that requires intervention before it becomes a 911 moment.

That’s the reason our caregivers have been trained to monitor vital signs routinely, precisely and seamlessly. We monitor blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation and fluid retention closely, as well as any changes in those levels.

We don’t hesitate if we think something feels off. We notify families, we consult physicians, we make changes if needed so that small changes don’t become large problems.

With us, you’re not just getting care—you’re getting proactive health management that’s designed to keep you ahead of the risks.

Financial Assistance & Government Support for Heart Disease Home Care

At Support Network, we know the finest care should never be out of reach. No one should have to struggle with their health, then worry about how to pay for the care they need. In reality, caring for heart disease is a journey over many years, and without financial support it can exact an enormous toll on individuals and families.

We navigate you through all financial alternatives to ensure you get the most help possible. From NDIS, My Aged Care, Carer Payments, Medicare rebates and more, we will help you sort through the paperwork, understand your options, and access the relevant funding you need to get you back on track with what is most important, your health and well-being.

Give us a call 1300 671 931 and let us ensure there is nothing missing from receiving the financial assistance you deserve.

Navigating Australian Government Programs – We Make It Easy

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by forms and eligibility rules and complex jargon, you’re not the only one. Many families find it difficult to know which government programs they might be eligible for and how to apply. At Support Network, we help make this process easier for you.

We evaluate your situation and guide you through the appropriate government-funded solutions, such as:

1. NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme)
2. My Aged Care
3. Carer Gateway

We don’t just report on what’s out there — we guide you through the whole process, help you find things to apply for and get you into everything you might be able to use.

Home Care Packages (HCPs) – Unlocking the Right Level of Care

For the over 65s, Home Care Packages (HCPs) are a godsend. Tailored packages funded by the government, which include in-home care services, therapy, and essential medical support, ensure that heart disease patients around the world receive continuing care of the highest quality.

Here’s the challenge: there are four levels of HCP funding, and many people don’t know about them or how to apply. That’s why at Support Network we support families:

• Assess what level of Home Care Package they are eligible for, depending on their condition and how much care they require.
• Submit for the package with all completion and desired documentation to facilitate the approval process.
• Get the most out of it: we walk you through what it covers so you can use the funds wisely, from essential home care services to therapy, equipment and even transport assistance.

Whether at the basic support (HCP Level 1) level, or full-time, high-level care (HCP Level 4), we ensure that you receive the correct funding and the care you need— minus the stress of having to navigate the system on your own.

Carer Payments & Allowances – Support for Families Who Give Their All

Tending to a loved one with heart disease is an expression of love, devotion and altruism, but it can also be exhausting, both emotionally and financially, experts say. Many family caregivers put their lives on hold, resign from their jobs and shoulder incredible responsibilities — typically without knowing that there are ways to get financial help.

At Support Network, we help families find Carer Payments and Carer Allowances to ease the financial strain on those of whom commit themselves to looking after a loved one in their own home.

• Carer Payment – This is a fortnightly income support payment to assist you in case you are a full-time carer and unable to work as a result of your caring responsibilities.
• Carer Allowance – If you are providing care while you work or perform other activities, this additional payment aims to help with covering care costs.
• Respite Care Funding – It takes a village to care for someone in need, and we help fund government-supported respite care services so you can take a break and recharge, knowing your loved one is taken care of.

Many families do not know they qualify to receive these payments — or find it difficult to navigate the process of getting this money. We assist you with eligibility, paperwork and with getting the financial support you deserve.

Heart Disease Home Care That Helps You Reconnect with the Community

We help you take back your rightful place in the world — heart disease doesn’t have to be a lonely path. We are a bridge between medical care and the human connection that adds meaning to life and restores the sense of belonging, independence, and purpose every human being deserves.

We believe that you are more than a patient—you are a member of your community, and you have a right to feel included, valued, and supported. We help people return to life — not just to health — with our home care services.

Call us now at 1300 671 931 and let’s ensure you or your loved one can retain connection to what matters most.

Breaking the Cycle of Social Isolation – Because Heart Care Is More Than Just Physical

The hidden burden of loneliness is the greatest risk for heart disease patients. When going out becomes difficult and completing everyday tasks feels exhausting, become natural for many individuals to stay home, decline invitations, lose touch and disconnect from social circles.

We understand that along with physical health, social health is equally important which is why we offer much more than just your traditional home care.

We provide caregivers that look really like friends, cheerleaders, and bridges to the world, the ones who help the clients regain the courage to re-enter life one interaction at a time. Whether it be a friendly chat over a cup of tea, a visit to a local café or a stroll in the park, daily moments of cheer, conversation and connection are promoted.

With Support Network, no one is left behind. We restore warmth, companionship, and human connection to daily life, helping every person feel seen, appreciated, and part of the experience.

Engaging with Local Heart Health & Wellness Programs – A Step Toward a More Active Life

A strong community can change someone’s experience of heart disease. That’s why we work outside the four walls of home care, helping our clients tap into programs and activities that in a social and engaging way support heart health.

We assist clients in joining:

• Heart Foundation Walking Groups – Organized, supervised walk for patients with heart disease to perform a gentle exercise and social interaction.
• Community Yoga & Wellness Classes — Curated programs for heart health including low-impact movement, relaxation and breathwork.
• Local Health an Awareness Events — Participation in local heart health talks, workshops, and support groups to keep up to date and feel a sense of connection

Avenue was part of a continuum with their earlier lives; they were more than activities — they were ways to regain independence, build friendships, and reconnect to the larger world. Our caregivers aren’t only recommending these programs — we’re involved to make sure clients become engaged, checking in for registrations, scheduling and even providing companionship during first classes.

Caring for Carers – Family Support in Heart Disease Home Care

Caring for a loved one with heart disease isn’t simply a duty — it’s a profound emotional, personal experience. It’s trying to wake up in the middle of the night just to make sure they’re breathing all right. It’s coordinating medication regimens, managing doctor’s appointments and ensuring they eat well — even when they don’t want to. It’s being their champion, their sounding board and their quiet warrior, all while figuring out your own life.”

You are seen at Support Network; at Support Network, we see you. We recognize the love, the commitment and the selflessness family caregivers invest in every minute. But we also witness the fatigue, the strain, and the unsaid dread of “What if I burn out?”

Taking care of someone else doesn’t mean neglecting yourself. You matter too. That’s why we don’t simply address those who may have heart disease; we address you, the family caregivers, and make certain that you get the support, guidance, and relief you need in order to continue caring for others without sacrificing your own health and happiness.

Need a helping hand? Ring us on 1300 671 931 and let’s ensure you are supported as well.

Respite Care – Because You Deserve a Break Without the Guilt

Caring for someone you love isn’t a job you clock in and out of — it’s literally around-the-clock work. And love may be what fuels that commitment, but it doesn’t take away the exhaustion, the overwhelming moments or the days you just need to walk away and find your breath.

We realize that asking for help can feel like a defeat — but it’s not. It’s self-preservation. This is why we provide professional in-home respite care. We step in with the same compassion, skill, and attentiveness you provide, so your loved one continues to receive the best possible care while you take as long as you need.

Contact us on 1300 671 931 today and let’s ensure that you’re able to get the support, relief and care you need.
