The Aunty Grace Community places you at the centre of your care, but also recognises the role of the wider community in keeping you well, including your family and loved ones. We keep you connected to the people and things that matter, ensuring a holistic outcome in reaching your care needs.
Care Management is a service provided to you to help you get the most out of your Home Care Package care and services. This includes helping you to identify and prioritise your needs and goals, set up a schedule of services, find the right workers for you, and monitor your services to make sure you are getting great results.
Unfortunately, despite some providers’ high fees, their care management is less effective because the people responsible for looking after you are busy with administrative tasks. It’s not unusual for care managers from some Providers to spend more than 50% of their time on admin due to outdated systems and technology.
At Aunty Grace, we pride ourselves on the quality of care management that you receive, and we work hard to improve our processes and make sure that our Care Managers are focused on you. We take all the administrative work off our Care managers and absorb this into the cost of our Package Management. This way your Care Manager can be in regular contact with you, your representatives and your workers to make sure things are being done the way you like, and to offer their expert advice. And if anything changes, your Care Manager is always available.
We can help you apply for Government contributions and guide you through each of the six steps of the application process below. With Aunty Grace you can be sure that your dedicated support team will:
