Frequently asked questions
A Support at Home provider is an organisation or entity that is approved and accredited by the Australian government to deliver aged care services to individuals who have been assessed as eligible to receive a Support at Home funding. These providers play a crucial role in the delivery of personalised care and support to older Australians who wish to remain living independently in their own homes. The responsibilities and services of a support at Home provider include developing a care plan; management of funds; monitoring and reviewing care, and compliance with aged care regulations and legislation.
All Support at Home packages need an assigned care manager, registered to an approved provider, to administer the government subsidy. Each provider is different, offering different types of services and/or care. It’s up to you to choose the provider that best fits your needs and the level of control you want over your budget and who delivers your services. You will need to complete an aged care assessment before you start with an aged care provider.
Self-Managed Support at Home providers
Home care is all about maintaining independence, so it makes sense that the system enables you to retain as much control as you are comfortable with. When it comes to administering your Home Care Package, a Self Managed provider allows you to tailor your care to suit your preferred levels of choice and control. This might mean that they administer your HCP subsidy, while you:
- Design your own care plan and budget
- Choose your own support workers
- Negotiate your services at rates you’re comfortable paying
- Go directly to workers rather than using a middleman
MHA Care is a Self-Managed Support at Home provider connecting you to aged care providers near you.
Fully Managed providers
Fully Managed home care is the more traditional route when it comes to home care. Your chosen provider controls all aspects of your care, from planning to finances and everything in between. They will have their own staff and provide specific services.
The Support at Home program has been designed to:
- Assist older adults to continue living at home rather than moving into residential care
- Provide personalised care and support based on individual needs and preferences
Services provided under a Support at Home are subject to your personal care plan, but can include:
- Personal care: Assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, and mobility.
- Nursing care: Medical support, medication management, and wound care.
- Domestic assistance: Help with cleaning, laundry, and meal preparation.
- Social support: Companionship, social activities, and community engagement.
- Transportation: Assistance with shopping, medical appointments, and social outings.
Home support refers to a range of services designed to assist older Australians with daily living activities, including cleaning, meal preparation, transport, and personal care. These services are often available through government-funded Support at Home plans.
You can find homecare providers near you by visiting the My Aged Care website and using their provider search tool. This allows you to compare services, costs, and customer reviews in your area.
The Support at Home Program is a government initiative that funds services to support older Australians in their homes. It includes personal care, nursing, therapy, transport, and other essential services.
Home help for older Australians includes services such as personal care, meal preparation, house cleaning, transport, and medical support. These services aim to keep older Australians safe, comfortable, and independent in their own homes.
