3 PRAHRAN MISSION HOME CARE PACKAGE Prahran Mission is an agency of the Uniting Church and an Approved Provider of Home Care Packages under the Aged Care Act Prahran Mission has over 20 years experience in managing and coordinating quality comprehensive care to older people in their homes in the Inner South metropolitan area. To access a Home Care Package you must be formally assessed as eligible by the Aged Care Assessment Service. WHAT IS A HOME CARE PACKAGE? A Package is a term used to describe services and support which can help you to continue living as independently as you can at home and to continue your connections to your local community. The Australian Government provides a funded amount (subsidy) to Approved Home Care Package providers on your behalf. The subsidy, together with your fees will become your income for the package. From July 2015 all Home Care Packages are to be delivered on a consumer directed basis. Choice and transparency are the key principles and you will be given a monthly statement, which will detail how your funds are spent. You will also be able to have a say as to how and when your services are delivered. Your Care Advisor can assist you to source and purchase the best available options to balance your needs and your budget. Your Care Advisor will document the services you choose, who will provide the service and when, into a weekly service plan. Over time, you may wish to coordinate your own services and manage your own budget directly. You can discuss this with your care advisor at any time. It is a good idea to take some time to get used to how things can work. You can then decide how much involvement you 14-Apr-15/ Manager HCP Page 3
4 would like to have in managing your services. BUDGET & STATEMENT Prahran Mission will manage the funds on your behalf and ensure that you have a monthly statement of income and expenditure. The statement will show: Income: The amount of funding received from the government (home care subsidy) Any amount you must pay due to income testing (non pensioners) Any supplement to which you are entitled Care fees you pay *To estimate the contribution you may need to pay, go to the Home Care Fee Estimator at Expenditure: Amount charged by us for administration Amount charged by us for core advisory/case management Costs for direct care services Your statement will be sent to you monthly & any unspent funds will be rolled over to the next month. You are entitled to use accumulated funds to purchase allowable additional services or equipment if required. Your care advisor will work with you to ensure that your budget works in the best way for you. FEES Fees are determined by the conditions set out by the Commonwealth Government relating to Home Care Packages & are based on income. Centrelink will assess your financial information and will send you a letter informing you of any co-contribution if required. Prahran Mission will also take into account your individual circumstances and capacity to pay in establishing your basic care fee. 14-Apr-15/ Manager HCP Page 4
5 Prahran Mission will review and adjust your basic care fee in March and September in line with the pension adjustment. PAYMENT OPTIONS Please note: All fees are calculated at a daily rate according to government guidelines. Fees are to be paid monthly via direct debit or Centrepay facility. No fees will be taken by staff. MORE INFORMATION ABOUT FEES & CHARGES Further information and tools to assist you to estimate your fees are available on the My Aged Care website There are a range of supports and services available to meet your needs. Prahran Mission currently has in place service agreements with a number of services from which you can choose. Because of the legislative requirements and regulations relating to service provider agreements an additional fee may be incurred if a different service provider were preferred. TYPES OF SERVICES AVAILABLE The level of package will determine the extent of services. Some of the general options, which may be provided as part of the Level 2 package, include: Personal care showering, dressing, grooming Home help house cleaning, laundry and shopping Meal preparation including help with special diets & aids Transport and escorts to appointments and community activities Social & emotional support community/home support and appropriate referral Respite care assistance with accessing residential or at home respite for carers Home safety assistance to keep you safe and secure in and around your home, including mobility assistance 14-Apr-15/ Manager HCP Page 5
6 Access to allied heath, nursing and respite care Advocacy, interpreter service to ensure your needs can be understood Other services can be provided as negotiated within the resources and budget of the package or purchased privately Access to after hours respite service The following items are excluded and cannot be provided by any package funding: Use of package funds as a source of general income Payment of home care fees or fees for other types of government funded care Purchase of food, including delivered meals except for enteral feeding Payment for permanent accommodation, including mortgage, rent or purchase of a home Home & garden modifications or capital items not related to care needs Travel & accommodation for holidays Payment for services & items covered by Medicare or Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme Gambling Illegal activities CARE & SERVICE PLANS Care Plan A care plan will be documented by your care advisor. It will be developed in partnership with you and will reflect what you would like to achieve (your goals and aspirations) via the package. The care plan will focus on what you can do rather than what you can t and build on your strengths to maintain and improve your health & wellbeing. 14-Apr-15/ Manager HCP Page 6
7 Your care advisor can assist you to select the best mix and range of services to balance your needs and the allowable budget of the package. You will receive a copy of the agreed care plan within 14 days of signing your agreement. The care plan may change over time according to your needs and goals. A formal review and reassessment will occur at least annually. You are able to have your family/carers or other representatives of your choice involved in the development and review of your care plan. If conditions change & you require a higher (or lower) level of support, we will assist with referrals to alternative services. Service plan A proposed service plan will be developed when you sign an agreement with us. This will list the support and services that you have identified will initially be part of your package. These services will be what you will see on your monthly statement. You may decide to purchase additional services outside of the package with your own funds to achieve your goals. CONTACT You can contact your Care Advisor by phone during office hours on if you wish to discuss matters relating to your care. You can also leave a message after hours on this number if you want to let us know about any service changes. If you require urgent respite services after hours contact Alfred Health Carer Services who manage our after hours service or CARE SERVICES AND CARE WORKERS Your Care Advisor will assist you to match your care worker to your specific identified needs. You may prefer to choose a male or a female worker, a worker who speaks your language, or has a similar cultural background. 14-Apr-15/ Manager HCP Page 7
8 Cancellation of care shifts Please note that Care agencies require payment for shifts cancelled at short notice and this will apply to your budget, so please ensure 24 hours notice for any cancelled shifts. LEAVE FROM THE PACKAGE You may be absent from home for a number of reasons while you are in receipt of a package; such as going to hospital, going on a holiday or going into residential care for respite. Please advise your Care Advisor if you are planning to be away from home for any length of time as this may mean an adjustment to your budget. These circumstances can affect the subsidy paid and also your fees: If you need to go into hospital or into transitional care for more than 28 consecutive days, your subsidy will be reduced to 25% for each day over 28 days. If you go into respite or have a holiday for more than 28 cumulative days in a financial year your subsidy will also be reduced to 25%. Please note You will still be required to pay your fees whilst in hospital and on social leave unless otherwise negotiated. You are not required to pay fees when you are on leave for respite or transitional care. If you are in hospital, your Care Advisor can liaise with hospital staff and ensure your return home is planned appropriately with consideration to the support you need for recuperation. 14-Apr-15/ Manager HCP Page 8

If we identify any areas of risk, we will assist you to address these. We ask that there is adequate lighting, ventilation & workspace free of clutter to allow care workers to undertake their tasks. The care agency will inform you of any other specific requirements regarding their workers. Smoking Prahran Mission has a no smoking policy for staff.
