meals assistant profile on Carevo in the same area
In the 90 days to 12 October 2026, people within 30 km of Samford Village submitted 14 care requests through Carevo that a meals assistant could take on. The services asked for most were meal help, personal care and household help. None came from Samford Village itself in that window. The nearest sources were Brisbane City (6, 17 km away), Bowen Hills (1, 17 km away) and Bracken Ridge (1, 16 km away). 5 of the 14 arrived in the last 30 days.
71% of these requests were sent by the person needing care, and 14% by a support coordinator. A coordinator or plan manager often places more than one participant, so a good first job with one can lead to more. 67% asked for support to start within a week, so a quick reply counts for a lot here.

Requests are anonymised: no names, contact details or health information are stored or shown. A suburb is named only when it has at least three requests in the window; otherwise the region is shown. Who is asking and the timing are inferred from the request by Carevo's classifier, and timing is described in the past tense once a request is more than 30 days old. Regenerated from Carevo's database at each deployment. How we calculate these numbers.
