Mobility and Daily Living Support for Seniors in Adelaide

Getting out of bed, moving between rooms and getting ready for the day can become harder, and a fall can knock your confidence for months. Kindora Connect provides mobility support for older people in Adelaide under Support at Home (formerly Home Care Packages), so you can keep moving safely in your own home.

Support follows your care plan and any instructions from your physiotherapist or occupational therapist.

What does mobility support include?

• help moving around the home and getting in and out of bed or a chair
• safe transfers, where your care plan and training allow
• encouragement to use your walker, stick or other aids as directed
• help with daily routines, such as getting dressed and ready for the day
• noticing trip hazards, such as loose mats or cluttered hallways
• reporting changes in your mobility or a near-fall to the right people

On the Support at Home service list, hands-on help with mobility sits under personal care, which includes attendant care for essential, ongoing needs such as mobility, eating and hygiene.

How do we keep mobility support safe?

Workers follow your care plan, manual handling requirements and the instructions for any equipment you use. If a transfer needs a hoist or two people, we plan for that rather than taking shortcuts. We ask about pain, dizziness and anything that makes moving harder on particular days.

Who does mobility support help?

• you are home from hospital and still unsteady on your feet
• you have had a fall and are nervous about moving around alone
• arthritis makes mornings slow and painful
• you have new equipment and want help using it day to day

How does mobility support work under Support at Home?

Kindora Connect delivers Support at Home services as an associated provider through VitalCare Support. VitalCare Support is the registered provider and manages your Support at Home budget. Kindora Connect plans and delivers your day-to-day services and is your main contact for your care.

Because it is part of personal care, mobility support needs personal care to be approved in your support plan. From 1 October 2026 the government fully funds personal care, with no contribution.

What if you need equipment or therapy?

If you need a walker, shower chair or grab rails, these can be funded through the Assistive Technology and Home Modifications scheme. If you need therapy to regain strength after an illness, the Restorative Care Pathway offers short-term allied health and nursing. See help accessing allied health and help accessing equipment.
