Most older people want to keep living in their own homes as they age, staying as independent as possible and making their own decisions about things that affect their life, health and wellbeing. Home care can help you to achieve this by giving you extra assistance to stay safe, comfortable and well at home.
Asking for extra help to manage at home can be difficult – but it’s more common than you might think. Home care is helping almost 1 million Australians to age well in their own homes. You can listen to some of their personal stories on the My Aged Care website.
If you’re considering home care, you have different options to choose from, including a Home Care Package. To make an informed decision, you’ll want to know what’s available and what it costs.
