What you need to know about in-home care

The Australian government supports in-home care for older Australians. Research has consistently shown that older Australians do not want to leave their homes, even when it becomes apparent that they need support to do so.

Through My Aged Care, in-home care packages can be applied for to help fund more support for your loved one to stay at home for as long as possible.

Alpha Support at Home will guide you through the steps involved in applying for funding, choosing a provider once you have funding, agreeing a care plan and regular reviewing of support needs and services provided. Call us today on 1300 023 676 or inquire here.

My Aged Care is the organisation created by the Australian Government to represent and support older Australians in the process of securing care as their needs change. The website provides a lot of information on what types of care are available, establishing eligibility and the process involved for you or your loved one.

A My Aged Care provider is the organisation that provides and manages care and support for you or your loved one. Alpha Support at Home is a registered My Aged Care provider and can support you or your loved one either privately (with your personal funding) or via a My Aged Care home care package (government funded).

There are a few key steps to applying for funding. The first involves establishing if your loved one is eligible to be assessed. If so, they will be assessed and either approved for funding now, or not. As an experienced, registered My Aged Care provider, Alpha Support at Home can guide you through the involved and often overwhelming process of applying for funding. Either call us on 1300 023 676 to get the process started or make an inquiry online here and we’ll be in touch.

The Australian government has an assessment process that will determine if your loved one is eligible for funding to provide support at home under a Home Care Package. Services and support may be available if they are 65 years or older, or 50 years or older if an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person.

As a starting point, you can use the eligibility checker tool on the My Aged Care website to establish your loved one’s eligibility.

Starting the in-home care process can be daunting and confusing. If you’d like some help in navigating the services available and how they meet your loved one’s needs, we can help. Call us on 1300 023 676 or enquire here. Learn More
