Bloom Community care is a Registered Home Aged Care Provider for Australian Citizens aged 65 years and over.
The Australian Government provides Home Care Packages to eligible Australians who need extra care services at home. They are designed for those with more complex care needs that go beyond what the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) can offer and aim to maximise independence and well-being.
Eligibility is determined through Aged Care Assessment Services (ACAS) and is not affected by your income, if you are receiving Centrelink payments or if you already have a carer.
If you are eligible and depending on the level of care needed you may be offered one of the following:
Package level | Level of care needs |
|---|---|
Level 1 | Basic care needs |
Level 2 | Low care needs |
Level 3 | Intermediate care needs |
Level 4 | High care needs |
For more information you can visit My Aged Care at www.myagedcare.gov.au or call them on 1800 200 422. Alternatively, you can call one of our friendly staff on 0422 30 35 38 and we will be able to direct you and assist you to apply.
You have the right to choose a provider who meets your needs best and puts you in charge of the services you will receive.
Once you have been offered a Home Care Package you will be able to choose a provider who meets your needs best and puts you in charge of the services you will receive. Once you choose your provider the government then pays your provider a subsidy to arrange a package of care services to meet your needs.
Our management and support staff speak various languages such as English, Arabic, Assyrian, Chaldean and Turkish. All staff hold necessary qualifications and screening checks in order to provide safe and informed services. They will work with you on a day-to-day basis and will always be available to listen to any concerns or suggestions or improvements.
