Empowering Seniors to Live Independently

Caring for You Like Family

I’m Cathy, and 1st 4 Seniors is my promise to deliver compassionate, personalized in-home care for seniors in St Helens, Tasmania.

My goal is to help you or your loved one live with independence, comfort, and dignity in your own home. From companionship and daily tasks to transportation, downsizing, or support during illness or recovery, I provide tailored care that meets your unique needs.

My inspiration stems from helping my mother navigate life’s transitions, from downsizing her home to managing care assessments and travel with her mobility needs. As her only family in Australia, I saw firsthand how vital reliable support is when family alone isn’t enough. Those experiences, along with caring for my father and uncle through serious illnesses, shaped 1st 4 Seniors into a service built on empathy, respect, and practical help.

With a current National Police Check, Working with Vulnerable People check, NDIS Worker certified, insurance, First Aid certification, and adherence to the Code of Conduct for Aged Care Workers, I’m dedicated to earning your trust. As a mother, I understand the importance of knowing your loved one is in caring, capable hands. Whether it’s running errands, helping with technology, assisting with a move, or offering a listening ear, I’m here to make life easier and more joyful.

1st 4 Seniors isn’t just care—it’s peace of mind for you and your family. If you’re seeking support that feels personal and dependable, let’s talk about how I can help you or your loved one thrive at home.
