A Home Care Package (HCP) is a funding package from the Australian Government designed to subsidise the cost of in home aged care for older Australians.
A HCP is often the next step on from receiving basic home care services through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP). This is because it provides funding for you to receive a higher level of supports and care.
Depending on your needs there are four levels of care that you can receive funding for. These range from a Level 1, which may include home and garden maintenance, to Level 4 for complex care like nursing and allied health care.
Silverchain provides the full range of HCP funded services across all 4 levels of care. These include:
