The Truth About Ageing
E63 - Home Care Services: Where To Start?!
Show Notes

In today's episode I thought I'd unpack a very regular conversation I have with clients about how to access home care services.  There can be a lot of confusion when it comes to starting your aged care journey, so today I discuss what flags to look out for, what services are available, what fees you might have to pay and how to get started with services.

  • Flags you might need support - specific areas of decline to look out for
  • Government funded services in the home - Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP), Home Care Packages and hospital discharge programs
  • Fees - charges to your Home Care Package for care and package management and fees that you may personally pay
  • How to access services - contacting My Aged Care, what to request, in home assessments and wait times

Thank you as always for tuning into todays episode. If you have any questions or would like to seek individualised advice, please feel free to contact me at www.navigateagedcare.com.au :)
