Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need aged care services?

Working out if you need aged care services can depend on different factors. Here are a few indicators that may mean you would benefit from getting some help.

  • Difficulty with everyday tasks – if you find it challenging to perform daily activities such as bathing, dressing, cooking, or managing household chores, it may be a sign that you could benefit from aged care services, or 24hr onsite staff.
  • Health conditions and medical needs – if you have specific health conditions that require regular medical attention, monitoring, allied health services, or assistance with medication management, aged care services can help with independent living.
  • Safety concerns – if you’re worried about your safety at home, such as the risk of falls, accidents, or difficulty moving around, aged care services can help by implementing safety measures and providing assistance when needed.
  • Social isolation – of you feel lonely or don’t have a support network to help you, aged care services can offer companionship, social events, and opportunities to engage with others.
  • Carer burnout – if your primary carer, such as a family member, is experiencing significant stress or struggling to provide adequate care, aged care services can offer respite care or additional support.

Moving into an aged care facility is one way to get the help you need, as you grow older. But if you don’t want to move into nursing homes, there are other ways you can get support for everyday life.

Here are some options for you to consider:

  • Home Care Packages – this is a national program that provides funding from the government to help pay for a coordinated set of services that support you at home. Services can include personal care, cleaning, nursing support, allied health therapy, transportation to activities, and social support
  • Commonwealth Home Support Programme – the CHSP provides basic help for older people who want to stay at home, at a lower level than a Home Care Package. They offer services like personal care, meals, transportation, home maintenance, and social support.
  • Assisted Living villages – these are retirement living options where you can live independently, but access help if you need it. Unlike residential aged care, you can choose an apartment or a villa and get services like meals, cleaning, laundry, and personal care, as you need them.
  • Aged care – home service in the community. Local community groups sometimes offer services to help older adults, like visiting programs, meals, social activities, and transportation. These services can be different in each area, so check with your local council to see what’s available.

To get help, you usually need an assessment by a special team to figure out what kind of support you need. To start exploring your options, you can contact My Aged Care, a government service that can give you more information and help you find long-term care available in your area.

Home Caring provides quality My Aged Care home care packages on the Sunshine Coast to help you live independently at home and prevent moving into aged care prematurely. If you need aged care services at home on the Sunshine Coast suburbs, we’d love to help. Please get in touch for a free consultation with our care agency team.

The Australian government helps seniors by offering subsidised home care services through the national Home Care Package program. These packages provide a variety of services to make daily life easier for older people. They can include personal care, help with household tasks, specialised care for dementia, transportation to medical appointments, nursing care, garden and home maintenance, mobility equipment and social activities to prevent loneliness.

These packages are designed to be flexible and give you the power to choose the care you want. You can also adjust the services according to your changing needs, and switch to more intensive care if needed in the future.

To access government-funded home care services, you need to go through an assessment conducted by an ACAT (Aged Care Assessment Team) assessor. You can apply for an assessment by visiting the My Aged Care website and answering some basic questions about your current situation, health, and any support you already have. Alternatively, you can call 1800 200 422 or ask someone to apply on your behalf. Set aside around 20 minutes to fill out the form, and make sure you have your Medicare card handy.

Once you send in your application, you may be referred for an ACAT assessment that will take place in your own home. Before the assessment, gather your identification documents (like your Medicare card and driver’s license) and any doctor referrals you have. You can also have a support person with you during the assessment, if you prefer.

During the assessment, the ACAT assessor will discuss your needs, any health issues you are concerned about, address any questions you have, and help you create a support plan. They might also ask you to fill out a form if you’re being assessed for home care or residential care. This is a great time to ask any questions you might have about the aged care process, aged care costs, care planning, and what level of care you might benefit from.

After the assessment, you’ll receive a letter explaining the outcome. If you’re eligible for a Home Care Package, you’ll be assigned a level indicating the amount of funding you’ll receive for your services. However, you might have to wait in a queue until a package becomes available to you. In the meantime, you can start doing your research and looking for a home care provider that suits your needs.

Are you looking for professional aged care support services on the Sunshine Coast? Home Caring offers My Aged Care packages on the Sunshine Coast. For more information our services, please get in touch.

If you are eligible for a Home Care Package, you will be placed in a national queue until one becomes available to you. How long it takes to be allocated your package depends on the level you are eligible for, as those with higher or more urgent needs are given priority.

If you are average priority, the estimated wait times is 1 to 3 months, according to the My Aged Care website. If you need assistance sooner than that, you can apply for a lower level of funding through the Commonwealth Home Support Program. The CHSP provides entry-level services such as personal care, domestic assistance and transport. Although the number of services is less than what is available through a Home Care Package, it may be able to tie you over until your package becomes available.

Having a conversation with a loved one is an important first step towards helping them get support, but it can be hard to know how to start. Here are some guidelines that might help.

Choose a safe and familiar place to talk. Find a comfortable environment, like their home, where you can have a conversation without distractions. Make sure everyone can hear each other well, and feels comfortable enough to speak honestly.

Listen to them carefully. Give your loved one a chance to share their feelings and worries about aged care. Listen carefully without interrupting and try to understand their point of view. Repeat back to them what they’ve said to show that you’re paying attention.

Share information if they’re interested. Do some research beforehand, maybe on the My Aged Care website, and share what you’ve learned about available aged care services. Answer their questions or guide them to reliable sources of information. If they’re okay with it, offer to help them research their options.

Ask about their preferences. Ultimately, it’s up to your loved one to make aged care decisions for themselves. Find out what they prefer, such as staying at home, moving to an aged care residence or retirement community, being close to friends and family, receiving care at home, or getting help from an aged care worker. Help them make choices based on what matters most to them.

Offer ongoing support and love. Reassure your loved one that you’re there for them and that you care about them, regardless of their decision. Let them know they don’t have to face it alone and that you’ll support them in the way they prefer.

By following these suggestions, you can have a meaningful conversation with your loved one and show them that you’re there to support them in their journey through aged care.

Home Caring is extremely excited to see the launch of the National Autism Strategy, a significant step toward creating a more inclusive society. This strategy focuses on improving community involvement, education and employment opportunities as well as enhancing diagnosis, services and support systems for autistic individuals.

To truly make a difference, these commitments must be backed by fully funded, long-term action plans that are both led by autistic voices and aligned with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).

We strongly support calls for:

~ An end to harmful NDIS reassessments that leave autistic   
  individuals without crucial supports.
~ Increased funding for early intervention, diagnostic services and therapies.
~ Fully funded plans that ensure timely access to services 
  particularly for those in marginalised communities.

Let’s continue working together to make meaningful changes for autistic people across our great nation 🩵
