About Dovida
We deliver home care that empowers you to live the life you want for as long as possible.
Who we are
At the heart of our person-centred approach is the belief that our care should empower you to live the life you want in the comfort of your home.
We recognise that no two people are the same and shape our care to best match our clients’ and caregivers’ interests, values, and personality.
This is why we carefully match our caregivers to ensure that we deliver more than home care – we create meaningful connections between people.
Our Circle of Care
Our Circle of Care places the client at the centre of a holistic support system uniting families, our skilled caregivers and Dovida’s support teams with Public Health Nurses, GPs and physio.
Our person-centred home care creates real connections that enhance the quality of care we provide and empowers you to live your life, your way.
Our story
Dovida began with a simple belief: that the best care comes from real and meaningful relationships.
Inspired by the Latin words for Home (Domus) and Life (Vida), our name ‘Dovida’ symbolises the very core of our mission; to help people live the life they want in the comfort of their own home for as long as possible. We are committed to putting individuals at the centre of everything we do.
Together with our clients, their families, and their healthcare teams, we provide care that is centred around the individual. This holistic approach creates a Circle of Care that puts our clients at the heart of the care they receive.
Why Dovida – our care philosophy
We believe quality home care empowers individuals to live with dignity, independence, and comfort in familiar surroundings.
We create a Circle of Care with you, your family, and your team, empowering you to live life your way—not just improving your day.

What makes Dovida different from other home care providers?
At Dovida, our care is focused on you. Visits are arranged on your preferred days and times to suit your individual needs and circumstances. Our person-centred approach means that our caregivers are matched to your interests and personality to create meaningful connections.
What types of care do you offer?
We provide a range of home care services to support older people and people living with a disability, and to care for people living with specific illnesses like Alzheimer’s and other dementias or Parkinson’s. Care can start from everyday companionship and progress through to Live-in or 24-hour care. Take a look at our services page to find out more.
How do you select and train your caregivers?
Our caregivers are carefully selected based on their life experiences, skills and personalities. We choose caregivers that are compassionate and want to help older people to remain independent at home. All of our caregivers are directly employed by Dovida and they undergo a robust onboarding training program delivered by our skilled staff which enables them to provide person-centred care. Many also receive specialised training in dementia and palliative care.
Can I choose my caregiver?
Yes, we carefully match your caregivers based on your interests, preferences, and care needs to make sure they are able to suit you and you are likely to build a genuine connection with them.
Our reliable caregivers support independence and empower you to make your own choices and respect your individuality which foster deeper connections. We want you to have choice and control over the care you receive so if you’re not happy with your caregivers or your schedule, our Care Management team can adapt your services.
