Home care

HOMECARE SERVICES

We know that remaining in your own home is very appealing but that at times you might benefit from some extra support.

Rembrandt can provide you with additional help allowing you to live in your familiar surroundings with confidence and ease. We offer an extensive range of either long or short-term home care services that will assist you or your loved one and give everyone peace of mind.

There are two ways to obtain Home Care support:

1. Private engagement
Engaging a home care support private provider, which involves funding the services yourself.

2. With the assistance of Government subsidy
Starting out on the subsidy Home Care process can be confusing, that’s why we have a person dedicated to guide you through the procedure of working within the appropriate government guidelines. This includes an assessment by the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). Our experienced Rembrandt Coordinator is ready to assist you with the My Aged Care process and once approved, coordinate the services that you want, the way you want them.

SUPPORT SERVICES

Depending on your level of care as determined by your ACAT (Aged Care Assessment Team), there are two types of home care services and assessments:

Entry Level Packages
Our Entry-Level Home Care Services, funded by the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP), provide basic support services to assist you to remain independent at home.

Home Care Packages
For those with more complex needs, Home Care Packages, subsidised by the Government, provide specialised in-home support with a wide range of services that will assist you to remain living in your own home. An Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) will determine the level of assistance to be provided.

“It is only with the determination and dedication of our people that we can serve our residents and clients and make their experience with Rembrandt Living second to none.”
