Home Care Perth

Southcare is a Western Australian not-for-profit organisation in Perth, WA that provides access to tailored aged care services that help you to live with dignity and respect in your own home. As you get older, you may find you require support with day-to-day activities at one time or another. For instance you may find you require help with cleaning, cooking, meal preparation for easy meals, nursing visits or showering. When you receive support from a aged care provider or aged care worker in Perth, this does not mean you have to lose your independence and stop living your life. At Southcare, our aim is to help support you with a range of tasks you may be having trouble with by providing help in the home through personalised home care.

Which home care should I choose?

There are a range of at home care providers, home care packages and support services available to help assist you, a family member or a loved one to live independently in their own home. While Southcare services are available for everyone to receive, there are three different funding options to get help around the home. These funding packages include:

• Home Care Packages (HCP)
• Community Home Support Program (CHSP)
• Privately funded (wholly or in-part)

Home Care Packages

To identify which provider & home care packages will be best suited to you and your caring needs, you will need to book an assessment to identify if you are eligible by calling the government agency called My Aged Care on 1800 200 422. My Aged Care is the starting point to access and receive Australian Government subsidised services and caring assistance. There are two types of government assessments that help work out your personal at home care service a package needs.

Home Care Assessment

• A home support assessment with a Regional Assessment Service (RAS) if you require low-level support & care to stay independent in your home.
  1. The RAS assessors come out to visit your home (at a time and date of your choice) to determine the amount of help you may need in the home.
  2. Have your medicare card, doctor referrals and a list of questions you want to know ready.
  3. A family member, friend or carer can be present to provide support at your assessment.
  4. Once your level has been assessed, you can choose which personalised services suit you and which provider you would like.
• A comprehensive assessment with an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) if you have home care needs that are greater than what the government subsidised Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) can support.
  1. An assessor will come to visit you to discuss your personal care needs, but this can also take place in hospital. ACAT assessors are clinicians such as nurses, social workers and physios who consider more complex needs.
  2. Have your medicare card, doctor referrals and a list of questions you want to know.
  3. A family member, friend or carers can be present to provide advice & support.
  4. The ACAT assessor will determine the level of care that will suit your lifestyle and how urgent the aged help services are required to help keep you living your best life. Your information is then placed on a national HCP waitlist.
