What care looks like in South-East Melbourne
Across Dandenong, Box Hill and Glen Waverley, family and community sit at the centre of care. The One Story intake makes sure every carer arrives knowing it.
Box Hill, Glen Waverley and Clayton hold some of the largest Mandarin and Cantonese speaking populations in Australia, and multigenerational households are the norm rather than the exception. Dandenong and Springvale add substantial Vietnamese, Khmer and Afghan communities. Care that arrives without the language rarely gets past the front room.
There is also a strong cultural expectation in many of these families that ageing parents are cared for at home by family, full stop. Bringing in outside help can feel like a failure, so the first few visits matter enormously and are best framed as supporting the family rather than replacing it.

Questions we get about South-East Melbourne
Can you provide a Mandarin or Cantonese speaking carer?
Yes, these are the languages we are asked for most across Box Hill, Glen Waverley and Clayton. Tell us which one, and whether the family also needs updates in English, and we will build the circle around that.
Our family feels uncomfortable bringing in outside help. How do you handle that?
By starting where it is easiest to accept. Often that is help with the house, the shopping or transport rather than personal care, with the same one or two carers so they become familiar rather than strangers. What we do and do not do is agreed with the family first.
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.
