What is a home care package?

A home care package is a service subsidised by the Government for an older person approved by the ACAT aged care assessment team experiencing difficulty managing at home.

You might require temporary assistance, or a long-term solution.

It could be something big that helps you get through the day or something to just help you stay in touch with the community.

Therefore, My Way home care packages and support are tailored to suit your needs.

A range of different services can be provided, depending on the level of home care package you’re eligible for and the assistance you require.

The three main home care service categories are:

Services designed to keep you happy, healthy and independent. This includes things like personal care, nursing services and allied health.
Services designed to keep you safe at home. This includes things like cleaning, home maintenance and minor modifications, and assistive technology.
Services designed to keep you connected to the community. This includes things like transport and social support services.

How My Way home care packages work

To receive a Government-subsidised home care package, you first need to contact My Aged Care by calling 1800 200 422 or visiting myagedcare.gov.au.

Your needs will be assessed and if eligible, your name will be put on the national package waitlist. Once you have been assigned a package, this is when it’s time to select an approved home care provider.

You can choose to nominate My Way Disability and Aged care as your preferred provider or ring us directly so we can best understand your individual needs and assist you with your package.

My Way has basic levels of home care packages, and this is the best way to develop a package and services that suit you.

Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) – Entry-level support. Help around the home for those who only need assistance with one or a couple of tasks.

Flexible Care – Flexible care acknowledges that the needs of aged care consumers (consumers) may require a different care approach than those provided through mainstream residential and home services.

Privately Funded Home Care – Extra support for those who may not yet qualify for Government funding or who may have extra care requirements.

My Way supports strategy:

You get more out of life when you receive support from someone you connect with.
