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

Wantirna 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 6,755 hours of direct care homes in the City of Knox must deliver each day, about 5,372 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 Knox, about 24 km from the Melbourne CBD, has 21 government-approved residential aged care homes with around 1,885 operational beds, including 4 in Wantirna itself. Homes in the area lean on agency cover for the same pressures seen across Victoria: keeping a Registered Nurse on site around the clock, hitting funded care-minute targets and filling sick calls before the shift starts.
