What is a Home Care Package
A Home Care Package (HCP) is a coordinated package of individualised care services that helps you stay in your own home for as long as possible. Home Care Packages are provided under an approach called Consumer Directed Care (CDC), it's about you having greater choice and flexibility. Woohoo! You have the liberty of choice. (pun intended)

How can I get a Home Care Package?
This is the formal bit. Eligibility for a Home Care Package is decided by an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). An ACAT representative will meet with you to assess your health status and care needs and decide if you are eligible for a Home Care Package.

There are four levels of Home Care Packages:

•    Level 1 – for people with basic care needs
•    Level 2 – for people with low level care needs
•    Level 3 – for people with intermediate care needs
•    Level 4 – for people with high care needs
To find out more about ACAT visit www.myagedcare.gov.au or phone 1800 200 422

Liberty's Home Care Packages
When you have been assessed as eligible, you will go onto a national waiting list prioritised according to the date of your assessment. When a package becomes available you will receive notification from My Aged Care (MAC). You will need this notice and the referral codes included in it to engage Liberty to be your Home Care provider. We will then arrange a suitable time to visit you to:
•    Discuss the package budget- how much do you have and what can you do with it?
•    Consult with your family and friends, if required, this is totally your choice
•    Get on the phone to other services and service providers, as required
•    Find the best care solutions, including letting you know about our brilliant Liberty services
•    Arrange ongoing support, including helping you to select your support team, to enable you to remain at home for as long as possible on your terms

Have a great day :)
