Home Support Services Celebrates 25 Years

South Australian in-home healthcare service provider, Home Support Services (HSS) is celebrating its 25th anniversary of providing care.
HSS founder and Managing Director Virginia Bullock says clients are seeking healthcare options in the home more than the previous generation. As a result HSS has recorded double digit growth for the past two years with expectations of further growth.
“The demand will only increase and the level of in-home healthcare will need to be extremely high to meet the standards consumers are now expecting," Ms Bullock says.
HSS currently employs more than 250 people across Australia from registered nurses and personal carers to occupational therapists and physiotherapists. Its services range from assistance with daily living through to complex nursing care, palliative care and rehabilitation following surgery.
“We are looking to launch a range of new services in the near future that will allow even more people to seek treatment outside of the hospital ward or nursing home.
“Since we established HSS, I would estimate we’ve assisted more than 200,000 Australians in receiving healthcare in the home.  “While the clients benefit from receiving quality healthcare in the comfort of their own home, it also reduces the strain on the health system.”
“We’re now aiming to capitalise on this expertise, working closely with governments and health providers and continuing to expand our services nationally.”
