Redefining aged care

Born and bred in Yarra Glen, Jessica Smith began her home care journey as a scheduling coordinator for a local service provider in Melbourne.

This is where the spark of passion to help those in need ignited. She soaked it all in, and quickly grew to wanting to be much more than just a kind voice over the phone.

That’s where becoming a Case Manager felt like finding her missing puzzle piece. Helping seniors in need wasn’t just a job, it became her purpose.

With her in field experience, working closely with Home Care clients, Jess continued to crave deeper connections. Working as an independent Support Worker wasn’t just about tasks, it was about forming relationships built on respect and understanding. It was about being a companion, not just a caregiver.

That’s the magic Jess wanted to bottle and share.

Happy Valley Home Care born in 2022, isn’t just about providing assistance, it’s about becoming part of the family. Happy Valley provides various services that can be funded under the Home Care Package.

They partner with registered Home Care Package providers, who can help self-manage the Home Care Package. Happy Valley Home Care is on a mission to redefine Aged Care. They believe seniors deserve a future filled with dignity, independence, and joy, right in the comfort of their own homes.

They envision Home Care as the gold standard, offering personalised support that empowers them to thrive. Through compassionate companionship and expert care, they’ll rebuild the Aged Care industry, one Happy Valley Home Care client at a time.

Once you are approved for a Home Care Package, you can contact Happy Valley Home Care to organise your care, and the government will subsidise the cost of our home support services within the parameters of your package level. Happy Valley Home Care also offers private services for those who are either ineligible or waiting for a Home Care Package.
