Self-Managing Your Home Care Package

Steps to Self-Managing Your Home Care Package

Ready to get started? Once you have your approved Home Care Package, here’s what you can expect from Trilogy Care:

1 – Find a Provider

• Reach out to home care providers that work with self-managers
• Discuss how they partner with you to assist in self-managing your home care and the services they provide
• Discuss fee structure – this will vary from one provider to another
• Discuss care needs – each home care package recipient has differing care needs and should craft their package to best suit them
• Nominate your preferred provider as your Home Care Package provider

2 – Care Planning

With providers such as Trilogy Care handling the financials, seniors can focus on crafting the care plan that works best for them. There are many services that are on offer to those with a Home Care Package, not all of which apply to every recipient. Self-managers should discuss their care needs with their selected provider, focusing on priority needs, individual preferences, and the maintaining of autonomy and daily routine.

Care plans should be designed to encompass the specific services and support required, while ensuring that funds are best distributed to match care needs, preventing unnecessary expenditure and prioritizing services that suit the recipient’s lifestyle.

3 – Find Workers

Finding support partners or workers from the same community can help in cultivating a sense of familiarity and trust. This personalized approach fosters a deeper sense of comfort and security, with caregivers not just there to assist, but to also build a genuine and lasting relationship, with recipient wellbeing as the main priority.

4 – Start Receiving Services

The chosen provider then helps to manage the budget and administration of the Home Care Package.
