Miranda Smith Homecare provides a continued quality of life through an exceptional standard of home-based care.
Our Services
Tailored, personalised homecare
Miranda Smith Homecare provides a range of services to help enable clients to remain in their own home safely and comfortably, while giving family members peace of mind, knowing that their loved ones are receiving the best possible care.
Providing care in a person’s home means it can be tailored specifically to their needs, lifestyle and preferences, rather than offering a blanket approach. Our service begins with a comprehensive assessment of each client’s lifestyle, medical conditions and the support required to enable them to continue living independently at home.
Home Visit and Assessment
Home Visit and Assessment
This comprehensive assessment looks at each client’s lifestyle, medical condition and the kind of support that is required to enable them to continue living independently at home.
We appreciate that the first assessment or meeting with one of our Clinical Coordinators can occur during a difficult or stressful time for our clients and their families. You will have questions to ask and important decisions to make, and it is our responsibility to ensure you are provided with all the information you need so you can make the most appropriate and safe care choice.
Miranda Smith Homecare is here to answer your questions and offer you the benefit of our extensive experience without pressure and at no obligation.
Specialised Care
Specialised Care
Advanced care requires specialised trained Carers, managed by experienced Service Coordinators and clinical oversight from a Registered Nurse. This care includes a range of support such as specialist dementia care, palliative and end of life care, continence care and medication administration. All Clients who require advanced care have a Registered Nurse available for clinical oversight and ongoing training of Carers.
Personal Care

A carer can make a big difference in a person’s quality of life, there are simple daily tasks that can be supported so independence is maintained.

Convalescent Care
Convalescent Care
Miranda Smith Homecare can provide support 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You may feel less anxious having a trusted, compassionate Carer present overnight and find it easier to relax into sleep knowing someone is with you. Having the practical support that a Carer can offer during the night hours can lessen the risk of trips and falls or allow your family or full time Carer to sleep undisturbed.
In the last couple of weeks we have had our Mum begin daily care with Miranda Smith Homecare caregivers. To say that this is a weight off our minds is an understatement. I had found the experience of caring for a person with dementia overwhelming, and as working full time there was a lot of guilt as well as grief. The level of professionalism and detailed, considerate care is above and beyond. This may not be for a long time, but it is giving our Mum the best quality time she deserves. Thanks to Belinda, Angela and the Team.
