Navigating the aged care landscape can be quite challenging. In our latest blog article, we reach out to anyone and everyone in our community who may feel confused or apprehensive about in-home aged care.
ADEC’s Home Care Packages are helping people stay in their homes with a range of personalised aged care services and support. Understanding and navigating the challenges of aged care can be overwhelming. You might feel unseen and unheard as you try to seek the support you need to stay in your home as you age.
ADEC's Aged Care service is here to change that. Our easy-to-understand Home Care Packages are a reliable one-stop shop for all the personalised in-home aged care and support you need, when you need it.
So what is personalised in-home aged care?
It means we listen to you so we can provide the right care for you. We see you as an individual with your own specific set of needs, and we’ll work in partnership with you to understand your personal needs, language requirements, cultural background, and living and family environment.
This commitment to exceptional personal service will extend throughout your whole experience with ADEC. You’ll be assigned a case manager who will be in regular contact with you to ensure your current needs are being met, and to connect you to additional support options whenever the need arises.
That’s how we assist our clients to continue living safely, comfortably and independently in their own homes. And it’s how we’ll help you to take control, make decisions for your own life, and keep thriving and pursuing your personal goals.
Your care, your choice
GOVERNMENT-FUNDED HOME CARE PACKAGES
Government-funded Home Care Packages aim to help people aged 65 years and over to access the in-home care and support you need to live safely and independently in your own home for as long as possible.
AGED CARE ASSESSMENT TEAM
The Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) will assess your eligibility for a Home Care Package, and an ADEC Care Manager will work with you to create a Care Plan that suits your long-term needs and preferences.
But you’ll always be in the driver’s seat. You decide how to spend your government funding on the coordinated care that best fits your personal needs – now and in the future. It’s all about putting the choice and flexibility to direct your care in your hands.
A PERSONALISED AGED CARE HELPER
Our personalised Home Care Packages have been designed to meet your individual needs. Whether you’re looking for friendly wellness checks or need active help with dressing, showering and toileting from an experienced aged care helper, we can provide the level of personal care you need to stay in your home.
Our support workers can bring a high level of professional care directly into your home. We can help with household tasks like meal preparation, assist you with managing your medication, or improve your quality of life with continence management.
Or if you’re just looking for professional advice and assistance to prepare your living environment for your next stage of life, we can help with that too. We can provide expert advice and assistance to make your home safer and easier to live in.
Aged Care Case Managers
You can rely on our team of Aged Care Case Managers to support your independent living. Led by compassionate professionals like Asma, Lakhveer, Mary, Roshani, and Samantha, they are dedicated to assisting you with essential services and everyday household tasks. Additionally, they actively encourage social activities, ensuring you can go shopping, visit family and friends, attend exercise classes, or enjoy some time at a local café. Furthermore, they can assist you in procuring aides and equipment, enabling you to comfortably age in place while preserving your independence and dignity. Our Case Managers can also arrange for our in-house Registered Nurse, Monica, to visit you if there are any changes in your health or care needs. With the guidance and care of these empathetic case managers, you can embrace a fulfilling and enriched lifestyle during your golden years.
Domestic bliss with ADEC
Sometimes all you need is a little help around your home. ADEC offers a range of domestic support services – from light housework tasks to light gardening and minor home maintenance – that will keep your home nice and pleasant.
Maintaining your mobility is important too. We can help you stay as active as possible around your home with movement and mobility support, and we can help you identify and access the best mobility aids and equipment for your personal needs. And if you require in-home respite care or companionship, a friendly aged care helper will be here for you with day visits or overnight stays.
Understanding the Fee Schedule
We designed our fee schedule–the fees and charges associated with the home care packages we offer–with your needs in mind. The packages are categorised into four levels: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4, each catering to different care requirements, from basic to high-level needs. Each level is associated with a specific funding amount, which is allocated by My Aged Care. We will work with you and your assigned package to ensure that all your needs and requirements are met. For your convenience, the fee schedule outlines the hourly rates of our support workers based on the required services. Additionally, it provides a comprehensive list of all costs and fees for each level of service, ensuring there are no surprises or hidden costs in the pricing.
CONNECTING WITH YOUR COMMUNITY
Community connection is important through all stages of life, but staying engaged with community events and services can become more challenging as we age. That’s why ADEC provides a selection of community access services to help keep you out and about.
We can connect you with independent or assisted transport services, and help support you on outings like shopping or attending activities or appointments. But community connection is about much more than shopping trips and doctor visits. ADEC can also support you to access a wide range of community-based recreational, educational and vocational activities to help ensure you’re getting the most out of life.
