Deepdene sits in the City of Boroondara, about 9 km from the CBD. We plan the trip door to door, including where to park and the walk to your door. We ask about the practical things before the first visit: stairs, parking, a lift, a key safe, a dog, or a driveway that is hard to turn into.
Our team covers Deepdene as part of the Melbourne's east run. That means the same small group of carers, a phone number that reaches a person, and a rate confirmed before anything starts.
What we can help with in Deepdene
Most people start with one thing, then add another when it is useful.
Getting to your place
Deepdene is about 9 km from the CBD, in the Boroondara local government area. We plan the trip door to door, including where to park and the walk to your door. Travel is built into the booking, and we tell you what it involves before the first visit.
Parking, steps and access change from street to street. Some blocks in Deepdene have a long driveway and an easy front door; others have a steep path, a narrow lane or a lift. We ask, write it down, and brief the carer before the first visit.
What we need from you
Your address, the supports you want, and the days that matter. A brief from a hospital, an NDIS plan or a family member helps, but it is not essential. A conversation is enough to start.
Paying for care in Deepdene
Three ways people usually fund support here.
- Private. You pay us directly, at the rate we agree before the first visit.
- NDIS. For self-managed and plan-managed participants, with invoices that match your plan.
- Support at Home. Ask us what applies to you. We will explain it plainly and tell you what we do not know.
