The Role of Carers and Nurses in Home-Based Aged Care





As more older Australians choose to age in place, the role of carers and nurses in home-based aged care has never been more essential. These professionals ensure seniors can live safely, comfortably, and independently — all within their own homes.





At Esse Care, our team of qualified carers and nurses work hand-in-hand to deliver compassionate, culturally aware support tailored to your unique needs. Here’s a breakdown of what they do, and why it matters.





What Is Home-Based Aged Care?





Home-based aged care allows older individuals to access the support they need while remaining in familiar surroundings. Through a Home Care Package (HCP), seniors can receive help with:







  • Daily living tasks


  • Personal and hygiene care


  • Mobility and safety


  • Health and medication support


  • Social connection and wellbeing






The delivery of these services often involves a coordinated team of support workers, carers, and registered nurses.





The Role of Carers (Support Workers)





Carers — also known as aged care support workers or personal care assistants — are the heart of day-to-day support. Their duties include:







  • Assistance with personal care: bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting


  • Meal preparation: shopping, cooking, and special diets


  • Household help: laundry, vacuuming, bed-making


  • Transport and mobility support


  • Companionship: social visits, games, conversations






Carers also act as observers — identifying changes in mood, mobility, or health and reporting them for further review.





The Role of Registered Nurses in Aged Care





Registered Nurses (RNs) deliver the clinical side of in-home care. They are vital when medical attention or health monitoring is needed.





At Esse Care, our RNs provide:







  • Medication administration and reviews


  • Wound care and dressing changes


  • Chronic disease management (e.g. diabetes, heart disease)


  • Palliative care and end-of-life support


  • Continence, catheter, and stoma care






They also develop and update your care plan in collaboration with doctors, allied health teams, and families.





How Carers and Nurses Work Together





In a quality care setting, carers and nurses form a close-knit team — ensuring that both the everyday and clinical needs of clients are met. For example:







  • A carer might notice a skin condition worsening and alert the nurse for follow-up


  • Nurses oversee the clinical care plan, and carers carry it out on a daily basis


  • Both provide emotional support, reassurance, and respectful companionship






This collaborative approach is what makes home care holistic and responsive.





What to Expect from Esse Care’s Staff





All of our staff are:







  • Qualified — carers hold relevant aged care certificates, nurses are fully registered


  • Background-checked — police checks and clearances are mandatory


  • Multilingual and culturally aware


  • Trained in dignity, safety, and personal boundaries






We strive to provide continuity of care — with the same friendly faces supporting you each visit, not a rotating roster of strangers.





How to Build the Right Care Team





When you start with Esse Care, we take the time to:







  • Understand your personality, health, and cultural preferences


  • Match you with the right carers and nurses


  • Adjust the team as your needs evolve over time






You’ll always know who is coming to your home and what to expect — no surprises.





Looking for the Right Support?





Whether you need occasional help with showering or ongoing medical support at home, Esse Care’s carers and nurses are here for you. We bring a professional, personalised, and people-first approach to every visit.
