Being cared for at home with a team you can trust gives you and your family peace of mind and comfort at a time when you are at your most vulnerable.

This is a time when you want those closest to you near. You want
to feel as comfortable and peaceful as possible in familiar surroundings.
You with your family and friends around you, at home.

What Our Clients Say

Vitalis provided exceptional care for our elderly mother in her home for five months until her passing. We switched to Vitalis from another company as we were impressed by their professionalism, personalised approach, attention to detail, and the way they treated mum with respect, kindness and compassion at all times. Voni was an absolute pleasure to deal with. She brings a wealth of experience to the table and has a lovely bedside manner with her clients. No problem was every too big for Voni to resolve and she and her staff went above and beyond to ensure mum was being well cared for and that her comfort and dignity was maintained until the very end. I have no hesitation recommending Vitalis as a care provider and have already provided their details to a few friends exploring care options for their parents.

TB, Warrawee, 2017

Words just cannot express how grateful I am for all that you have done over the last 4 nearly 5 months. Particularly in this last few days, I absolutely could not have gotten through it without you. Your calm, in control but gentle nature and work ethic we’re just what I needed. Whenever you said “now here’s the plan” was music to my ears. You facilitated the most beautiful death for dad, just what he wanted. Also I must commend you on your staff. Oh my gosh, we are all in love with Belinda and Deane. And of course Bella and Hannah too. Thank you Voni.

SC, Darling Point, September 2020

Voni, you are a true angel. Thank you so much for everything. You made Mum’s wishes come true and now she can be at peace knowing she could be at home one last time! It has been a true honour to meet you. You truly helped get us through this tough time.
