Understanding Home Care Package Levels
Home Care Packages are an affordable care option because they’re subsidised by the government. That subsidisation varies across different home care package levels that include –
- Level 1 Home Care Packages for basic care needs including meal prep, day-to-day support with housework, etc.
- Level 2 Home Care Packages for low care needs including transport and exercise classes.
- Level 3 Home Care Packages for intermediate care needs such as medication and treatment support, and home modifications.
- Level 4 Home Care Packages for high care needs like increased care hours and care for chronic conditions like Dementia.
Depending on your financial situation, you may also be required to contribute towards your care package costs through one of two payment options, which are –
- A basic daily fee that everyone can be expected to pay
- An income-tested care fee that is determined through an income assessment.
You can estimate how much you may need to contribute using the government’s fee estimator calculator. We also provide free personal consultations to help individuals across Cannery and surrounding areas to understand their eligibility and any costs that they can expect to pay for a Home Care Package with Home Caring.
