Types of Care and Funding
Understand the Types of Care and Funding options available
AgedCareIQ recognises how daunting and time consuming it can be to understanding the types of aged care available and funding options, as there is so much information to decipher.
Many issues need to be considered to determine the Type of Care options suitable for your loved one, including the level assistance required, frequency of care, existence and capacity of primary carer, urgency of care requirements. Types of care range from short term home care after surgery, to co-funded government home care package to remain at home, and residential care with 24/7 high care.
