I feel guilty starting the Age Care process because I think I should be able to do more by myself without asking for help.
@tiakinashelties2 жыл бұрын
I have minimal help through this service. However home maintenence consists or gutter cleaning and window cleaning once every 6 months which is appreciated. However there are many small tasks around the house that we cannot do e.g. changing a light bulb,fix a dripping tap etc. When I contacted my provider about this I was told to get a plumber or an electrician. How do I improve this and get these small jobs done at a reasonable price??

Thank you for ALL this information. I spoke to My Aged Care today and I was left feeling so confused. Apparently my next phone call will be from the Home Support person to discuss the new request for extra help. They have already received the referral from my GP. The list I prepared, while watching this video clip, will be invaluable. Again, thank you so much.

Hi Cazz, I’m happy to hear you’re finding our information useful. You’re not the only one that finds navigating the My Aged Care process confusing. However, the list you have put together is the sort of preparation that will stand you well for your upcoming meetings and assessments with the various My Aged Care representatives. Feel free to email or call if you have any questions. Kind regards, Jim Moraitis. Ph: 1300874342 ; Email: info@villagelocal.com.au

@jimmoraitis63682 жыл бұрын
Sorry to hear that you struggled through the process of accessing support for your parents. You’re not alone here. One thing to remember is the aged care journey is an ongoing one. Just when you think you’ve finished the process of navigating the aged care system, it’s time to solve a new problem such as getting reassessed for a higher level of support. At least you’ll now be better prepared for the reassessment process. All the best to you and your family. Jim, VillageLocal.

I received a phone call to say I would be more suited to My Aged Care. Currently have Commonwealth. She caught me unawares and I couldn’t even think what was wrong with me and what I should say. I have a medical history summary from my doctor. Would it be advantageous to send this with what I need to that email address.

was told the precedure was a cancel assesment is done first then the councilrecommends the home care packgeassesment if needed. does this sound right to you ?
@jimmoraitis6368 Жыл бұрын
RAS assessors are the ones that approve entry level services, typically, the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP). This is typically 1-1.5hrs of domestic assistance per fortnight at a cost of $10-$20 for the visit. ACAT assessor’s are the ones that approved more complex situations where someone requires a Home Care Package (HCP). A HCP, will provide the consumer with weekly support and if on a pension, the consumer will not have to pay anything out of their pension for the service. It’s common for the Regional Assessment Team (RAS) to do the first assessment prior to the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) getting involved. It’s also common for councils to be the local “RAS assessor”. If the RAS Assessor believes the persons needs are greater than what can be provided under CHSP services, they can refer the consumer to the ACAT team to be assessed for a Home Care Package. It’s very important that the consumer clearly and assertively communicates their challenges and their needs and desires to the RAS assessor. Failure to do this often results in the RAS assessor NOT referring the case to the ACAT assessor for Home Care Package consideration.

With your friend by your side, you can make a phone call to the government department, "My Aged Care" on 1800 200 422. While on the call, simply describe to the My Aged Care representative some of the challenges your friend is facing. My Aged Care will then book your friend in for a home assessment which will get her approved for the types of support she needs. if you have any additional questions, feel free to contact our VillageLocal office on 1300 87 43 42. I hope that helps, Jim.
