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 North Melbourne as part of the Melbourne's west run. That means the same small group of carers, a phone number that reaches a person, and a rate confirmed before anything starts.
