What care looks like in Geelong & Bellarine
Geelong looks after its own. Aldera fits that with the same faces each visit, from the city to the coast.
Geelong has a strong Italian, Croatian and Macedonian community built on the Ford and wool industries, now largely in their late seventies and eighties in the older suburbs of Newtown, Geelong West and Norlane. Alongside them, the Bellarine towns have filled with Melbourne retirees over the last twenty years.
Those are two different client groups in one region. One has been here sixty years with family nearby and English as a second language. The other arrived recently, has adult children an hour up the highway, and is at higher risk of isolation. The same roster does not serve both well, so we treat them as separate patches.

Questions we get about Geelong & Bellarine
Do you cover the Bellarine towns as well as Geelong itself?
Yes, through Ocean Grove, Drysdale, Torquay and the surrounding towns. The peninsula adds real driving time, so when you call we will talk through which visit times actually work for your address.
My parents retired here and I am still in Melbourne. How does that work?
It is a very common pattern on the Bellarine. You get a named Care Lead you can ring directly for a real account of how things are going, and a small circle of carers who notice changes because they see your parents every week.
How the Care Circle, the One Story and the named Care Lead actually work is set out on the Aldera way, and what it costs is on our costs page.
