What does in Home Care cost?
What in home care costs depends on how you are paying for your in home support and care, what type of services and support you are receiving as well as when you receive your services. There are three ways to pay for your Home Care costs:
- privately from your own personal money, in which case we have no waiting list and no Aged Care Assessment is needed. This is commonly known as private care; or
- from your Government Subsidised Home Care Package which pays for our services. (You may need to contribute to your Home Care Package as per the Government rules); or
- from a combination of your Government Subsidised Home Care Package.
