Quality Home Care in Vaucluse, Right at Home

Round the clock care is priced on the hours involved, so it is the most expensive way to receive support and it is more than most funding packages cover on their own. Many families combine funded hours with private hours, or use overnight support only on the nights it is needed. We can set out the real numbers for your situation before you commit to anything.

That rule belongs to residential aged care, not home care. It refers to the number of days of leave a resident can take from a facility each year while keeping their place. Home care has no equivalent, because the care comes to the person rather than the person moving into a facility. If you go away or into hospital, services simply pause and restart.

Nobody is turned away from government funded home care because of their financial situation. Contributions are assessed on income and assets, and there are hardship provisions for people who genuinely cannot pay. If money is the thing stopping you asking for help, say so, because it is a more common conversation than most families expect.

It depends on the level of support you are assessed as needing, and Support at Home sets that from your assessment rather than a flat rate. What matters more than the headline figure is how much of it reaches actual care, because provider fees come out of the same pool. Ask any provider what proportion of the package they keep.
