What are Home Care Packages (HCPs)?

Home Care Packages - Level 1 to 4, what does it mean?
Because everyone’s needs are different, there are four levels of HCP. Your level will depend on what your assessed needs are (the amount and frequency of support you require for example).
Level 1 - Basic support needs
With HCP level 1, you canget a little extra support to help you stay independent in your own home.
This might include one or two visits a week from a support worker to assist
you with cleaning and tidying around the house, supporting you with your personal health, such as grooming and dressing, or getting some help with meals, shopping and transport.
Level 2 - Low support needs
Similar to level 1, a low level of support to assist you with day-to-day tasks multiple times a week, in your home or in the
community.
The supports and services you can receive are different for each individual: they will depend on you, what you want and what your goals are.
Level 3 - Intermediate support needs
We can support you to find assistive products to increase your independence and safety around your home and in your day-to-day activities.
Level 4 - High support needs
We offer nursing services including medical care, health monitoring, and support with medication at home.
