Home Care
Fees
The Australian Government subsidises a range of aged care services. You may have to pay a Home Care fee depending on your income and assets. It is expected that you will contribute to the costs of your care, if you can afford to do so. Fees will vary according to the level of support available and your capacity to pay.

Fee For Service
If you do not wish to have an ACAT assessment Adventist Senior Living Home Care can provide tailored services at an agreed cost.
Home Care Package
You will need to be assessed by a member of an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) to receive help at home through a Home Care Package. You may choose to do this yourself online by visiting the My Aged Care Website, or have our Home Care staff assist you in this application.
ACAT help you and your carers determine the kind of care that best meets your needs. A member of the team, which may include a doctor, nurse, social worker and/or other health professional, will meet with you to assess your needs and how well you are managing at home. They will identify the right services for you and the level of care you require. You will receive a letter from ACAT stating the types of subsidised services for which you have approval.
