Home Care Packages

When you get to a certain age, you sometimes need extra help in the home to continue living independently. That’s where Home Care Packages can help. These provide subsidised care services for daily living and enjoying all aspects of life while minimising expenses.

My Aged Care Home Care Packages: How They Work

Aged Care Home Care Packages in Yarra Ranges is a government-funded scheme that enables you to get the support you need to live independently in your homes if you are over a certain age. It’s essential for helping you continue living independently, especially if you have a disability or medical conditions.

Here’s how it works: First, you must apply to receive funding. But don’t worry, Home Caring can help you with every step of the application process.

Then, assessors at My Aged Care will look at your situation and determine a suitable subsidy level (discussed below). The amount of funding you receive depends on your level of need and whether you live in SDA accommodation.

Once you receive approval, government funding will subsidise most of your care. You will have to pay a small fee in most cases, but the amount is much less than the market rate, reducing the cost of Home Care Packages in Yarra Ranges substantially.
