Comprehensive support for immediate care needs with Level 3 Home Care Packages.

Home Care Package Level 3 provides the comprehensive support needed to maintain independence at home when you or a loved one requires more than just basic or low-level assistance. Level 3 Home Care Packages are designed to help you continue living comfortably and safely in your home, with the right level of care and support.

Key Features of a Level 3 Home Care Package

What does a Level 3 Package include?

This package is designed to provide a balanced combination of services, allowing you to receive the support you need while maintaining your preferred lifestyle. Focusing on enhancing your comfort and independence, a Level 3 Home Care Package ensures that you can continue to live in your home with confidence and peace of mind.

• Personal Care: Extensive support with daily activities and personal hygiene.
• Domestic Assistance: More intensive help with cleaning, laundry, and meal preparation.
• Social Support: Regular social interactions and engagement activities.
• Transport: Assistance with medical appointments, shopping and other essential outings.
• Home Modifications: Changes to improve home safety, such as installing grab rails or ramps.
• Allied Health Services : Access to physiotherapy, occupational therapy and other health professionals.

How much is a Level 3 Package worth?

The funding allocated for a Level 3 Home Care Package is designed to cover the cost of the intermediate level of care needed. This package provides more funding than Level 1 and Level 2 packages, allowing for a broader range of services to be offered.

The exact value of a Level 3 Home Care Package depends on government contributions and your financial situation. Typically, this package offers substantial funding to cover personal care, domestic assistance, transport, and other essential services. Understanding the financial aspect of your care package is crucial in ensuring that you receive the right level of support without financial strain.

Limitations of a Level 3 Home Care Package

What is not included in the Home Care Package?

While Level 3 Home Care Packages offer extensive support, certain services may not be included. Understanding the limitations of your package is important to ensure that all your care needs are met.

Some services not typically covered by a Level 3 Home Care Package may include:

• Major Home Modifications: Significant alterations to your home, such as extensive renovations or structural changes, might not be fully covered by the package. However, minor modifications, like installing handrails or ramps, are often included.
• Medical Treatments: Specific medical treatments or procedures that require specialised equipment or hospital care are not covered. However, the package may include transportation to and from medical appointments.
• Luxury Services: Non-essential services, such as leisure activities or personal luxury items, are generally not included in the funding. The package focuses on essential care and support services.

Knowing what is and isn’t included in your Level 3 Aged Care Package helps you plan additional support or services that might be required outside of the package.

The right Home Care Package for your needs

Selecting the appropriate Home Care Package is essential for maintaining independence and quality of life. If you or a loved one is considering a Level 3 Home Care Package, it’s because you require a moderate level of assistance but still wish to remain independent at home. This package provides the right balance of care and support, allowing you to live comfortably and safely in your home.

Regularly reviewing your care needs with your provider ensures that you continue receiving the right support level. If your needs change over time, reassessing your situation through My Aged Care can help determine your eligibility for a higher level of care. This proactive approach ensures that your care plan evolves with you, providing the necessary support at each stage of life.

Get started with a Home Care Package

How to access a Level 3 Home Care Package

To access a Level 3 Home Care Package, you or your loved one must first undergo an assessment by an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). This team will evaluate your care needs, health status, and living situation to determine your eligibility for a Home Care Package. The assessment will also help identify whether a Level 3 package is suitable based on your specific requirements and level of care needed.

This process ensures that the support provided aligns with your needs and helps you receive the appropriate level of care to maintain your independence at home.
