Home Care Packages Melbourne [Supporting You At Home] healthAbility

Supporting you at home

Home Care Packages support you or a loved one to remain living at home and stay active, independent and safe. Our tailored and flexible Care Management service supports you to live confidently in your home and community.

Home Care Packages are provided to older people and some younger people with a disability, dementia or other special care needs, who have been assessed and approved by the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT).

Our care management team considers your individual situation and provides you with a list of services you may need. They then develop a tailored care plan together with you and anyone you would like to include in the planning process. With years of experience providing Home Care Packages, we have a deep knowledge of care providers, which makes us a trusted and experienced provider of choice.

If you have a Home Care Package provided by the Australian Government, we can ensure that you receive quality care of your choice that is tailored to meet your needs. You will also have choice and flexibility in the care you receive at home, as your needs change.

We provide the following Home Care Packages:

Level 1 supports people with basic care needs
Level 2 supports people with low level care needs (formerly Community Aged Care Packages)
Level 3 supports people with intermediate care needs
Level 4 supports people with high level care needs (formerly Extended Aged Care at Home and Extended Aged Care at Home Dementia packages)

Our unique combination of private and publicly funded health services enables us to manage the care you need and provide you with flexibility, choice and control.
