The Support at Home program will continue to fund the in-home care services currently funded under Home Care Packages—that’s not changing.
However, Support at Home will feature a defined service list to specify what’s available in the program. It will have three categories:
Clinical Care, such as nursing care
Independence, such as help with showering
Everyday Living, such as gardening and house cleaning
Each category will have its own service types and participant contribution arrangements. Assessments will determine which services are available to home care recipients, and those determinations will be documented in their accompanying support plans.
If you’d like to learn more about the Support at Home service list and what services might be available to you, view pages 17–32 in the Support at Home Program Handbook.
