Home Care Fees

Home Care Package Pricing

A participant’s budget depends on the level of HCP funding allocated by the government. The budget estimates below are approximate figures for the potential funding a participant might receive. Funding varies for each person based on individual circumstances.

My Way will collaborate with clients to determine an appropriate level of services that can be provided within the allocated budget. Out-of-pocket contributions from clients are discussed if necessary.
