How can a home carer support someone with dementia?

Carers or health care workers can play a crucial role in providing support to a person with dementia by not only contributing to their overall wellbeing, but enabling them to live at home for longer, and improving their sense of self-worth and independence. Whether they provide support a few times a week or more regularly, a carer can:

  • Provide stability and predictability through a structured daily schedule with regular mealtimes, activities, and rest periods
  • Give loved ones a break from managing their loved one's dementia symptoms
  • Help reduce confusion and anxiety often experienced by people with dementia
  • Help with the housework so the home stays safe and tidy
  • Help with communication and making interactions more meaningful for people with dementia and their families
  • Provide safe transport and support in regular activities and events
  • Enable people with vascular dementia engage in activities and a specialist dementia care program that brings them joy and stimulates cognitive activity
  • Providing comfort, reassurance and companionship – especially when people with dementia face challenges in expressing themselves and behavioural symptoms

We are available in a wide range of suburbs in New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Victoria, Canberra, and Tasmania.

How is home dementia care funded in Australia?

In Australia, dementia care at home is usually funded through the Home Care Packages program, a government scheme that helps people with dementia access quality support in their own homes. The program offers four levels of packages, ranging from basic to high care, with funding allocated based on each person’s assessed care needs. Packages can be used for a wide range of services, such as personal care, nursing support, assistance with daily tasks, transport, day programs, independent living aids, and respite care.

People who receive a Home Care Package can choose their own provider, and work with them to create a care plan that is based on their needs. This provides flexibility, as each person can access services that is the most helpful to them when it comes to ageing at home.

How do you apply for a Home Care Package?

To apply for a Home Care Package, the first step is to contact My Aged Care, the central hub for aged care services in Australia. You can reach them by calling 1800 200 422 or by visiting the website. During the call, they will ask you some basic questions about your needs to determine your eligibility for a Home Care Package.

If you are eligible, My Aged Care will arrange for an assessment by the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) member. They will visit you at home, discuss your situation, and assess your care needs. This helps determine the appropriate level of support you require. You can have a loved one with you throughout the visit, as support.

After the assessment, if you are eligible for a Home Care Package, you will receive an approval letter from My Aged Care, indicating the level that you’ve been allocated, and the next steps. You will then be placed in a queue to wait until a package becomes available to you. In the meantime, you can start researching different providers in your local area, to choose the one who best meets your needs.

If you need guidance throughout this process, you can get in touch with My Aged Care or give us a call. Our customer service team would be happy to answer any questions that you have.
