Selecting the Most Suitable Home Care Agency That Fits Your Needs

Choosing the right home care provider is, arguably, the most important decision that you will make in planning care for yourself or your loved one. It is crucial that you choose a provider who shares your values, is capable of meeting your needs, and fits well with your lifestyle so that the home care experience is one that is reassuring, empowering, and person-centered. Some of the following are factors in choosing the right home care provider:

• Experience and Expertise: You would need a home caregiver who has lots of experience in home care because then they would be aware of what is required in any situation and would be able to deal with it accordingly. A good provider should also have knowledge of local services and resources, so that you get everything that you require for a total home care experience.
• Individual Care Plans: Every individual is different in his/her own way. A good home health caregiver will take the extra step to evaluate your specific needs and develop an individualized care plan that addresses your specific needs, interests, and goals. This way, you get the kind of assistance that works best for you, whether assistance in your activities of daily living, medical care, or assistance for your mental well-being.
• Flexibility and Adaptability: Your requirements might be different at different times, and so it is essential that you select a caregiver who will offer flexible care services. Look for a caregiver who is willing to modify their services according to your evolving condition, whether more, less, or even special services like dementia or palliative care.
• Credibility and Trust: Your home care agency must be credible and trustworthy. Look for the reviews and testimonies of their previous clients to determine the credibility of the agency. A credible home care agency would be one that has a history of delivering trustworthy, caring services and has a high client satisfaction rate.

They are taken through a tough recruitment process, like background checks, reference checks, and training, so that we can be satisfied that they meet our standards of professionalism and reliability. We also continuously train and update our carers to keep them updated with the latest in home care best practices.

Our Carers visit each client on a one-to-one basis so that we can determine their personal needs and develop personalized care plans that are both flexible and supportive. Regardless of how little or how much support is required, our carers possess the skill and training necessary to provide assistance with a caring and supportive attitude.

Our pride lies in the fact that we have employees who take interest in granting people independence, comfort, and general well-being in all whom we serve in Heathwood.

Home Care Funding Options

It may be tricky to work through the home care funding streams, but it is a process worth undertaking to ensure that individuals are able to receive the proper care that they require. We are pleased to provide both government-funded and non-government funded streams so that individuals in Heathwood have a choice on how they would prefer to fund their care services.

Government-funded alternatives

HOME CARE PACKAGES (HCP)

Home Care Packages aim to help older Australians who need help so that they can stay in their own home. Home Care Packages, funded by the Government, are authorized by the level of a person’s level of need, with funding in four categories (Level 1 through Level 4), ranging from level of care level through level of more serious level.

Within a Home Care Package, the client may be assisted with various types of services like personal care, home support, physiotherapy, and social support. The funding is coordinated by a Home Care Provider, in this instance our organisation, in conjunction with the client, that develops a goal-based plan. As a registered provider, we take care of administration and coordination of the services within the scope of care based on the funding agreements so that the overall plan is in the hands of professionals.

The person must be assessed by the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) to be eligible to receive a Home Care Package. The team approves the level of care needed according to the person’s health and care needs, and the funding is released accordingly upon approval.

National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

NDIS is a federally funded scheme that provides support to Australians with a permanent and significant disability. Under NDIS funding, the participants who are eligible can access any of the home care services that enable them to live more independently, learn to live, and experience greater well-being. It may be personal care, therapy, mobility assistance, or any other support according to their requirement.

They have to be evaluated by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) to receive NDIS funding. Participants receive individual plan funding that indicates the funding they are provided and the support they can receive, based on their evaluation. We help participants execute their care plan as an NDIS-registered provider, delivering person-centred and responsive services to enable them to pursue their goals.

Non-government-financed

Private Home Care

For those who cannot afford government-funded services or who just do not wish to utilize government funds, private homecare is an alternative. Private homecare is the process of paying privately for homecare services, which allows the individual greater autonomy in determining what type and amount of visits of care he/she wishes to have.

Private home care can deliver any sort of care, ranging from personal and household care to more intensive such as therapy or nursing. Private home care is adaptable to supply the distinctive individual requirements in every individual, whether short-term in duration such as recuperation from surgery or long-term with persistent chronic disease.

Whereas individually funded home care involves self-payment, the benefit is that of greater flexibility and easier and quicker access to services without needing to go through lengthy application procedures. It is also for those who desire a more tailored type of care or would prefer to supplement government-funded services with extra care.
