Old age comes with many life changes. How can we adapt as we age to unpredictable and changing circumstances? With the home care packages and services!
Aged care homes offer older people and their families an option, but staying at home, in familiar surroundings, with neighbours and friends nearby, might be a better choice for others.
The majority of people prefer to stay at home with some kind of support to allow them to remain there safely. Rest assured you’ll be in safe hands with an accredited organisation like Adssi, whose case managers and in-home staff are qualified and police checked.
Home Care Packages provide subsidised in-home aged care and are specifically tailored to each individual. These packages are allocated in levels from 1 – 4, with level 1 providing basic support through to level 4 for people needing more complex support.
Adssi offers a wide range of Home Care Packages that puts your needs first. Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about Adssi’s versatile Home Care Packages Central Coast (HCP’s).

Home Care Package Subsidy Rates

What you’re expected to pay is based on an assessment of your financial situation. This assessment doesn’t take into consideration the value of your home or any other assets and is determined by Centrelink.

Adssi’s Home Care Packages – Level 1 to Level 4
Home Care Packages are allocated in levels, from Level 1 to Level 4. Each level has a budget assigned by the government, together with a contribution from you. The main difference between each home care package level is the amount of care and services that can be purchased and the budget provided by the government.
Home Care Package – Level 1
A Home Care Package Level 1 provides around 1 – 2 hours of service per week. It is designed to support people who have basic care needs. You choose the type of support that will best suit you.
Home Care Package – Level 2
The level two Home Care Package equates between 3-5 hours of service per week. It is designed to support people with low-level needs. You choose the type of support that will best suit you.
Home Care Package – Level 3
The level three HCP is designed to support those with intermediate care needs. The level three HCP equates to 7 – 9 hours of service per week. Tailor your home care package with the types of support that will best help you stay living at home safely and independently.
Home Care Package – Level 4
This Home Care Package Central Coast is designed to support those with high-level care needs. The level four HCP equates to 10-13 hours of service per week. Adssi’s qualified and experienced team will support your high-level and complex care needs in the comfort of your own home.
