Arranging Home Care

2. Need care straight away?

If you need care straight away, we can arrange Private home care services for you with no delay. Easy!

This way, you can receive the care you need from your Support Worker, and start feeling more confident at home.

If you’re applying for a Government funded package, it can take some time to be approved – so getting Private services straight away will give you peace of mind, and the care and support you deserve.

Best of all – getting Private services will not impact your eligibility for any government support.

3. Want to apply for Government subsidised care?

Register with My Aged Care, and an assessor will arrange to chat with you.

There are different programs for government subsidised care, such as Home Care Packages, DVA Community Nursing and Veterans’ Home Care. Depending on the program, an assessment is often required to determine eligibility and service needs. We can assist you to navigate this part of the process.*NB. Even if you are not entitled to government funding we can still provide privately-funded care.

4. Did you receive approval for a Government subsidy?

That’s great news, we can provide help at home for you.

Once you receive your approval letter, just give our friendly team a call and we can work with you to create your plan.

Call us on 1300 853 146, and we can help you.

5. Create your individual Care Plan and start living your best life!

Our Coordinator will work with you to develop a Care Plan to meet your needs and arrange appropriate support workers of your choice. This will also include scheduling of home visits so you know what will happen and when.

Home Safety

You’re not alone

In order to live safely and independently at home without worry there is also a range of personal alarms, monitored “smart home” safety devices (such as motion sensors), telephone support and emergency response services available to you.

This technology is beneficial for those who;

• Live alone
• Are at risk of falling
• Have dementia, epilepsy and chronic diseases such as asthma, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer
• Would simply like peace of mind for themselves and their family should an unanticipated event happen

Daily Health Monitoring

Giving you greater control over your health and wellbeing

Through technology called Telemonitoring, information can be collected from medical devices in your home such as weighing scales, thermometers, blood pressure monitors, pulse oximeters and blood glucose monitors. These daily readings are automatically sent to your professional support worker, allowing them to remotely monitor chronic conditions in real time such as diabetes, asthma, hypertension, congestive heart failure (CHF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Based on your readings, your carer can take necessary actions or advice to improve your health outcomes.

The benefits of Telemonitoring are;

• Your health information, with your permission, can be securely shared with family members and loved ones as well as other health providers such as your GP to simplify communication and collaboration
• Daily monitoring and real-time readings allow for regular, close observation and maintenance of your health
• You become actively engaged in your own wellbeing
