H ome Care Packages (HCP) are a great way to help older Australians remain living at home. Ranging from Level 1 (basic) up to Level 4 (higher care needs), a Package is allocated by the Federal Government through My Aged Care. Once you have been allocated a Package, you can choose your provider. A Home Care Package with Adssi In-home Support is tailored to suit your specific and individual needs and can provide: Dementia care and support; personal care; in-home nursing, physiotherapy and occupational therapy; transport to appointments or shopping; social activities; personal safety and monitoring devices for your peace of mind; home maintenance/ modifications to improve safety; access to wellbeing programs and IT support from our Tech Mentors to help you get and stay online and connected with your friends, family and the world, safely and confidently. At Adssi In-home Support, we encourage and welcome you to prioritise the type of support you want and need, allowing you to continue to do the things you can manage. ‘The Packages are flexible’, explained Di Adssi In-home Support

Spragg, Regional Manager Central Coast & Northern Sydney. ‘We know circumstances, including health, can change, so the package can be modified if and when needed, for example following a stay in hospital’, she explained. ‘And when things need to change, we don’t charge review fees or exit fees’, she explained. We are locals helping locals, so you know when you call us, we’re just around the corner, not in another city, state or even country.

Being local also means we know where you need to go and how to get there. We are an accredited and approved Home Care Package provider, and as a not-for-profit organisation, our resources go into service delivery.
