How do I pay for these services? You can pay for Home Connect and Care Connect as a private user-pays service, or depending on your circumstances you may receive funding through your Home Care Package or Commonweatlh Home Support Package. You may also be able to do a combination of payment types if that better suits your financial situation.
Accessing a Home Care Package: pay for your BaptistCare at home services while you wait for a level 2, 3 or 4 Home Care Package. You can draw down up to $30,000 for a period of up to two years, based on current BaptistCare at home package rates – ample to keep you covered.
If you’d like a Home Care Package you need to be assessed by the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). Our Care Connect Coordinator can help you arrange this. We understand that wait times for a Government-subsidised Home Care Package can be long and it may be difficult to fund much-needed care services while you await approval, especially if you’re on a fixed income.
A PLACE WITH SUPPORT IF YOU N E E D I T.
Please note that if you already have a Home Care Package, you can continue receiving those services at Yarra Rossa, regardless of your provider. Or, our Connect Coordinator can help you move to BaptistCare at home services if you prefer.
To assist with this challenge, we give you the option to draw down funds from the Entry Payment on your retirement living apartment to
