Home Care Package Costs and Charges
Understanding Home Care Package Subsidies
If you are eligible for a Home Care Package, the government provides a subsidy to help make your in-home care services more affordable. This subsidy is designed to cover a significant portion of your home care costs, directly enhancing the support you receive at home.
Private Pay Options
We offer flexible private pay options for individuals who do not qualify for government funding. You can pay privately for additional services to ensure your care needs are fully met.
Tailored Home Care Packages
Home Care Packages at Kanyini Care Services are customised according to your unique needs, with various levels available depending on your assessed requirements. If applicable, you may be required to contribute through an Income Tested Care Fee, which is determined solely based on your income, not assets.
Transparent Cost Management
With Kanyini Care Services, you'll always know where your money is going. Our Home Care Packages include a Care Management and Package Management fee. These fees are straightforward and directly funded by your government-subsidized Home Care Package, ensuring efficient resource use.
Why Choose Our Home Care Services?
We aim to provide you with versatile options that accommodate your budget and the extent of support you need. Opting to pay a Basic Daily Fee can significantly increase the number of in-home support hours available, enhancing your ability to receive care beyond the introductory provisions of your Home Care Package.
Enhanced Support with a Basic Daily Fee
Paying a Basic Daily Fee provides additional in-home care support hours, which is ideal for those requiring extra assistance. This fee is directly debited from your nominated bank account, simplifying the process and allowing you to focus more on enjoying life and less on managing payments.
