Support Worker for Older Adults

In-Home Support & Companionship for Older Adults

Experienced Support. Genuine Connection. Your Life, Your Way.

Support that helps older adults stay comfortable, connected and independent at home.

As we get older, a little reliable help with everyday activities — and some friendly company — can make a real difference to daily life.

I'm Samuel, an independent support worker with more than 9 years of experience.

Through Samuel G Support, I provide respectful, non-clinical in-home support and companionship for older adults across the Perth metro area, built around each person's needs, routines and preferences.

A Senior Care Helper & Friendly Check-In

People look for this kind of support in lots of different ways — a ‘senior care helper’, someone to help with an elderly parent at home, a regular check-in service, or simply companionship and a hand around the house. Whatever you call it, I provide reliable, non-clinical in-home support and a friendly check-in for older adults right across Perth — senior services that help maintain independence at home.

Support for Older Adults, on Your Terms

Whether you're looking for support for yourself or for an older parent or relative, the goal is the same: appropriate, respectful help that supports independence rather than taking over.

Sometimes that's a hand with everyday routines. Sometimes it's getting out into the community. And sometimes it's simply having a reliable, familiar person to share some time with.

How I Can Help Older Adults at Home

Depending on individual circumstances, in-home support for older adults may include:

  • Companionship and friendly conversation
  • Light household activities
  • Meal preparation and organising everyday routines
  • Shopping and grocery assistance
  • Support getting to appointments and outings
  • Help staying socially connected
  • Assistance organising everyday activities
  • A reliable check-in and familiar face

Please note: I provide non-clinical support and companionship. Personal care, nursing and medical services are not offered.

Companionship That Helps With Isolation

Spending a lot of time alone can affect anyone's wellbeing. Regular companionship from a familiar person can help older adults stay connected and engaged.

Company & Conversation

Sharing a coffee, a chat and time with someone reliable and familiar.

Getting Out & About

Support for walks, outings, shopping and community activities at a comfortable pace.

Hobbies & Interests

Time spent on activities and interests the person enjoys.

Peace of Mind for Family

A trusted, familiar person checking in on your loved one.

Support at Home, Home Care Packages & Private Support

There are a few ways older adults in Perth arrange and fund support. In short:

Support at HomeFrom November 2025 the government's new Support at Home program began replacing Home Care Packages. If you self-manage your Support at Home funding, you can usually choose your own workers — including an independent support worker like me.
Home Care PackagesIf you're still on a Home Care Package during the transition, self-managed participants can also choose their own support workers.
Privately fundedMany people simply arrange and pay for support privately, with no package at all — straightforward and flexible.
Not sure what you have?That's completely normal. We can talk it through, and My Aged Care (1800 200 422) can help confirm your options.

How support can be arranged depends on your individual situation. This is general information, not financial advice.

Respectful, Familiar and Reliable

Inviting someone to support an older family member takes trust. That's why I focus on:

ConsistencyThe same familiar face, not a rotating roster of workers.
RespectTreating the person, their home and their independence with dignity.
PatienceSupport provided calmly and at a pace that suits the individual.
CommunicationKeeping you and your family informed and involved.

Comfortable, connected and independent at home.
