Home Care Packages are government-funded support schemes to help you continue living independently at home. Through them, Home Care Package providers in Westmead offer various services to assist independent living, from simple help with housework to around-the-clock care.

Your Home Care Package depends on your level of need. Those with the most profound support requirements get the most NDIS financial support.

Talk to us today if you are interested in a Home Care Package. Our team offers comprehensive support services from dementia care to disability care, ensuring you can remain in your home and live your best life.

What Are Home Care Packages? 

Home Care Packages are government-funded services that let older adults remain in their homes longer. The government taxes income and businesses and uses this money to subsidise Aged Care Home Care Package providers like us. This mechanism reduces the price you pay while catering to your needs.

Home Care Packages are more extensive than conventional care services that focus on personal care and medication management and include additional support, such as transportation, life skills training and vocational support. This holistic approach comes from the National Disability Insurance Agency’s (NDIA) philosophy. The organisation wants older adults to retain a sense of purpose and use services to move towards new goals, no matter how old they are.

What Home Care Package Levels Are Available?

NDIS Home Care Packages come in four levels, with a Level 1 Aged Care Package being the least supportive and a Level 4 Aged Care Package being the most. Which you receive will depend on an independent assessment by the NDIA. Assessors will collect information about your medical history and talk to professionals dealing with your case. After that, they will allocate you a level based on their findings.

Home Caring cannot influence the outcome of this assessment. However, we can help you apply for funding and assist with paperwork.

The four Home Care Package Levels available in Westmead are as follows:

  • Home Care Package Level 1. Level 1 Home Care Packages are for those requiring minimal support to remain independent at home. These fund twice-daily carer visits to assist with bathing, meal preparation and general household chores.
  • Home Care Package Level 2. Level 2 Home Care Packages are much the same but provide additional financing for multiple visits per day and longer care sessions.
  • Home Care Package Level 3. Those on a Level 3 Home Care Package can expect more comprehensive services and additional funding. Carers may arrive multiple times daily and assist with hoists, transportation, and medication.
  • Home Care Package Level 4. Finally, those on a Level 4 Home Care Package can expect to receive the most care services, including SDA accommodation. Carers may stay in the household 24/7 and provide specialist support, such as dementia or disability care.

The cost of Home Care Packages varies according to your financial situation. You will either pay a basic daily fee or an income-tested charge.
