The Truth About Ageing

E78 - Home Care 101: All things CHSP, Home Care Packages and more!


Listen Later

Happy Wednesday! Today's episode is one I've touched on previously, but that can always use an update - Home Care Services!

80% of ageing Australians want to remain in their own home, so how can we do that?

In this episode we talk about:

  • How and why to contact My Aged Care
  • The different types of aged care assessments
  • The varying home care programs and their pros/cons
  • What is the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP), who is eligible, what does it cost and how do you access it?
  • What is a Home Care Package (HCP), who is eligible, what does it cost and how do you access it?
  • And what is this new program called Support at Home? 

This episode is a great starting point for those with ageing loved ones that don't know where to begin. It can also be a helpful refresher if you're already accessing one of these services and don't know what's next.

Can't wait to unpack more next fortnight!
