Personal Care Assistants (PCA) cover for Prahran aged care homes

Prahran aged care homes book personal care assistants through Aspire when permanent rosters can't stretch — nights, weekends, public holidays and short-notice sick calls.

Personal Care Assistants deliver most of the hands-on care residents experience every day — hygiene, mobility, meals and companionship. Short PCA shifts directly affect total care minutes and resident wellbeing, so fast, dependable cover is essential.

Of the roughly 3,261 hours of direct care homes in the City of Stonnington must deliver each day, about 2,594 hours are hands-on personal and nursing care — most of it delivered by PCAs.

Support residents with personal care, daily living activities, mobility, wellbeing and maintaining independence. Aspire provides PCAs with proven aged care experience who understand the importance of dignity, respect and meaningful connections with residents.

The City of Stonnington, about 5 km from the Melbourne CBD, has 11 government-approved residential aged care homes with around 910 operational beds, including 2 in Prahran itself. Most requests we see from this part of Melbourne are night shifts, weekend rosters and same-day sick-leave cover — the shifts that are hardest to fill with permanent staff alone.
