In-home care, New South Wales
Ageing in place across the Northern Rivers
Stay reworks the home you already have into a safe, comfortable place to grow old, with a qualified carer living onsite. It is real care, close to the family and community you have built here, so a move into a distant facility never has to be the answer.
Stay near the people and place you know
The Northern Rivers has one of the oldest populations in the state, and residential aged care places are spread thin across a large region. For many families a move means travelling long distances to visit, or leaving the district entirely. Stay lets you stay where your roots are, in a home reworked for the years ahead, with care that comes to you.
20.4%
of people across the Northern Rivers are aged 65 and over, well above the New South Wales average of 14.7%.

How Stay works
We turn the home you already have into a safe, comfortable place to grow old, with a plan that flexes across the years ahead.
We build your personalised plan
An expert team gets to know your home, your goals and your needs, then builds an ageing at home plan, along with the funding you can draw on.
We design and fit out the space
Specialists rework your home into somewhere safe and easy to live in as you age, that still looks and feels like a home rather than a facility.
We settle a carer onsite
A qualified Australian carer moves into a private suite within the home, so support is always close, subsidised by government for those who are eligible.
Ageing at home in the Northern Rivers, answered
- Does Stay operate in the Northern Rivers?
- Yes. Stay works with families right across the Northern Rivers, from Tweed Heads down to Ballina and inland to Lismore, Kyogle and Casino. Availability depends on your location, so the best first step is to leave your details and we will confirm what is possible near you.
- Why age at home rather than move to a facility?
- In a large regional area, the nearest facility with a place can be a long way from family. Ageing at home keeps you close to the people and community you know, in a house redesigned to stay safe as your needs change.
- How is in-home care funded?
- Personal care at home can be subsidised by government for those who are eligible. Stay assesses your eligibility, manages the whole application, and makes clear what is subsidised and what you pay.
- How much does residential aged care cost in comparison?
- The average deposit for a single room in residential aged care is about $570,000, on top of the ongoing fees that follow. Ageing in place is designed to help you avoid that move.
