Get the most out of your Home Care Package
Did you know that Home Care Packages (HCP) can be used for a large range of supports to keep you safe and independent at home?
Age should be no barrier to independence. Once you have been approved for a Home Care Package, it is important you receive the in-home care to best suit your circumstances. We are experts in Australian home care packages, and will ensure you have the most relevant services at your fingertips.
How do I receive a Home Care Package?
The number of Government-funded Home Care Packages is limited, therefore it is important to be assessed in order to determine your eligibility.
- The first step is to apply for an assessment online, or call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422. The process is quick and easy.
- An assessor will determine the level of care to best suit your needs.
- Once you have been approved, contact us! We are the service providers who work alongside you, to design the most effective care plan within your approved level of support.
What is HCP funding?
Home Care Packages offer a higher level of support for our senior citizens over the age of 65 years who need more complex support to stay safe at home.
The latest government regulations allow you to have greater control over your HCP funds, opting for the providers and services you deem the most appropriate. If you have been approved for a Home Care Package, we can help ensure you receive the best home support services while you remain in charge and in control. We offer a range of services to keep you safe and independent at home, such as:
- Personal care (showering and dressing)
- Help with everyday household tasks (meal preparation, grocery shopping, cleaning)
- Support to help you take your medication
- Travelling to appointments, activities or learning to use public transport
- Starting a hobby, connecting with friends, clubs, the community
- Access to therapy and clinical services like speech pathology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy through our partner organisation Plena Healthcare
