For family members

11 aged-care facilities and retirement villages in Randwick — we visit all of them

Worried Mum or Dad can’t video call the grandkids, read emails, connect their iPad, or shake off a scary “Microsoft warning” popup? The Original PC Doctor provides patient in-room and remote tech help for aged-care residents in Randwick, including Catholic Healthcare Brigidine House, Milford House Nursing Home and 9 more. We work at the resident’s pace, talk in plain English, and keep family members in the loop with a clear email summary after every visit.

If your parent lives in one of the 11 aged-care or retirement-village facilities in Randwick, you can book in-room tech help on their behalf — or grab a Free Quick Quote below if you’d rather not call right now.

Common reasons families call us about a Randwick resident:

  • iPad won’t connect to the resident WiFi — usually a password change at the facility, or the device has forgotten the network. 15-minute fix.
  • Video calls aren’t working — FaceTime, WhatsApp or Zoom isn’t ringing through, or the camera shows the ceiling instead of the resident.
  • “Microsoft warning” popup — almost always a scam scareware page, never an actual Microsoft warning. We remove it and lock things down.
  • New device setup — family bought an iPad or laptop, your parent is stuck on the Apple ID / login screen.

Senior tech support services we offer in Randwick

We’re the local team for aged care computer help and retirement village tech support — every visit is patient, jargon-free, and centred on the resident’s pace. Here’s what families ask us for most:

  • Senior tech support in Randwick — one-on-one technicians who don’t rush, explain things three times if needed, and follow facility sign-in procedures.
  • iPad help for elderly residents — accessibility settings, larger fonts, simpler home screens, plus walkthroughs in plain English.
  • In-room computer help — we work at the resident’s bedside, no need to move the laptop or carry the iPad to the office.
  • FaceTime setup for aged care residents — connecting Mum or Dad to grandkids via FaceTime, WhatsApp, Zoom or Google Meet.
  • Scam popup removal for seniors — fake “Microsoft warning” pages, scam phone calls, suspicious emails: we lock things down and walk the resident through what to ignore next time.
  • WiFi help in aged care — connecting to the facility WiFi after a password change, troubleshooting weak signal in distant rooms.
  • Printer setup & iPad-to-printer pairing — useful for residents who still print photos of grandkids.
  • Apple ID, password resets & email accounts — Outlook, Apple Mail, Gmail; we recover accounts and write down the new password in big print.
  • Computer help for aged care residents with cognitive decline or dementia — we don’t ask the resident to troubleshoot or remember anything; we do the work and email the family a summary.

If you’re helping Mum or Dad with tech from interstate, we can loop you in by email after every visit — and your sibling can hold the booking and account through our unlimited family account access.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Family account access — siblings can share one Randwick account

Your parent’s PCD account supports unlimited authorised account holders — useful when siblings are in different cities but you’re all trying to look after Mum or Dad at a Randwick facility together.

  • Each family member has their own login — pays from their own card, gets emailed visit summaries.
  • One shared view of every booking, invoice, and follow-up note.
  • The facility’s lifestyle coordinator can be added too, as a non-paying contact, so they can see what’s scheduled.

If you’re the resident reading this

If you live in Randwick, we’ll come to you

You don’t need to bring your iPad anywhere or work out how to fix it yourself. Call us, tell us what’s going wrong in your own words, and we’ll either talk you through it on the phone — staying with you for as long as it takes — or arrange to drive out and sit with you in your room.

We won’t rush you. If you’d like a cup of tea first, that’s fine. If you need us to explain something three times, we’ll explain it three times. There are no silly questions.

Common questions from Randwick families

Can my brother and I both manage Mum’s account?
Yes — your parent’s account supports unlimited authorised account holders. Each family member has their own login, pays from their own card, and gets the same email summaries.
How do you access the facility?
Different facilities have different rules. Most use standard visitor sign-in at reception — no prior approval needed. For independent retirement village units, no facility sign-in is required at all (your parent’s unit is their own home).
How much does it cost?
Most jobs are 30–90 minutes and quoted up front (by phone or Quick Quote reply) before any work starts. No Fix, No Fee. Remote help by phone is cheaper than an in-room visit.
What if my parent has cognitive decline?
Very common. Tell us what you’ve observed and we’ll work it out when we get there. We won’t ask the resident to troubleshoot or remember anything. We do the work, write down a one-line summary in big print, and email the same summary to you.
How does the Free Quick Quote work?
Fill out the Quick Quote form above. We reply by email within 1 business hour (weekdays 8am–6pm) with an estimate and the next available visit. No callback unless you ask.
For Randwick lifestyle coordinators

Booking tech help on behalf of a resident?

If you’re the lifestyle coordinator or admin at one of the 11 facilities in Randwick, we can book an individual in-room or remote visit on a resident’s behalf — invoiced to the family or to the resident’s account, whichever you prefer.
