Overview
About HomeCaring Central Coast
We believe a better care experience starts with a team that genuinely understands the community they serve. At HomeCaring Central Coast, we provide personalised in-home support to help seniors and people living with disability stay independent and live well in their own homes across the Central Coast. Our dedicated team is passionate about serving the local community with care that makes a real difference in people's lives.
We've been proudly supporting the Central Coast since November 2019, under the leadership of Cruz Calero-Mena, a local resident with over 20 years of experience in the aged care and disability sector. With a Bachelor of Community Services and a Master of International Health Services, Cruz brings deep expertise to his work, along with a hands-on understanding of what great care looks like.
Supported in the business by his wife, Cruz leads a team of skilled, person-focused carers who go the extra mile. He's committed to helping locals access the high-quality support they deserve. Outside of work, Cruz gives back to the community by coaching soccer for his local club and is also a qualified sports trainer and fitness instructor.
Whether you're receiving Support at Home or NDIS support, you'll be in capable, compassionate hands with a team that always puts your care first.
