Household Tasks

Practical help to maintain a

safe & comfortable
 home

Astara Wellness provides household task support to help participants maintain a clean, safe and manageable living environment.

Maintaining a home you feel good in

A clean, safe and well-maintained home supports health, wellbeing and independence. For many participants, difficulty with household tasks is a direct result of their disability - and it can significantly impact quality of life, safety and comfort.

Our household support workers are respectful, reliable and consistent. We understand that your home is your space, and we treat it with care. We work to your preferences and standards, not our own. We show up when we say we will, do the job thoroughly and leave your home in a condition you feel proud of.

Beyond just cleaning, we take a holistic view of what makes a home safe and liveable. If we notice anything that could affect your safety, accessibility or comfort, we bring it to your attention - because we care about more than just the task at hand.
