Why a Home Care Package?
With a Home Care Package you choose your services and you are in control of designing a care plan to meet your individual circumstance and budget. AnglicareSA are here to help you along the way.
A Home Care Package is a combination of Government funds and your own contribution. You control your package to receive the care and support you need to live the life you choose in your home.

Your AnglicareSA Home Care Package is tailored to suit your individual care needs. Our team listens to your wishes and interests before providing you with information, advice and support to develop a service plan based on your goals and allocated budget.
They will help you meet your own goals for living independently whether by staying active and healthy, keeping up social activities with your friends or exploring new and different opportunities.

How do I access a Home Care Package?
Step 1: Contact My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 to arrange an assessment with the Commonwealth Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT).
Step 2: After your assessment, ACAT will inform you of the level of care you are eligible for. Talk to AnglicareSA to find out more about what this means for you and what you will need to contribute towards your package. There are two types of fees you may be asked to pay: a basic daily fee and an income tested care fee.
Step 3: You will receive a letter from My Aged Care informing you that a package has been assigned to you.
