BallyCara HomeCare is subsidised by the Commonwealth Government to provide entry level support services through the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP). The Program is provided to people who require assistance to keep living independently in their own home and community.
BallyCara HomeCare delivers services under a Wellness approach. This means that you can expect us to work with your strengths and abilities rather than your limitations. We will identify what your individual goals are and through our SONA philosophy (Gaelic for Happiness) we will Embrace your individuality, Enhance your outcomes and enable you to Prosper in our caring relationship.
To be eligible for CHSP services you require an assessment by the Regional Assessment Service (RAS) which can be arranged by contacting My Aged Care on 1800 200 422.

BallyCara HomeCare Packages allow you to customise how you spend your assigned Government subsidy on support services and equipment that promote your independence and community living. We help you through the journey by listening and exploring with you, your background, needs and preferences to design the optimal utilisation of available funds. Our Sona® philosophy also challenges you to consider your preferred future and how BallyCara can assist you to prosper with real happiness.
There are four levels of home care packages. These four levels are designed as follows:
Level 1: Supports people with basic care needs
Level 2: Supports people with low-level care needs
Level 3: Supports people with intermediate care needs
Level 4: Supports people with high-level care needs
Depending on your approved level of HomeCare package; services, consumables and minor equipment purchases will be organised in alignment with your individual needs and goals.

The Commonwealth Home Support Program is designed for people who require a low level of assistance and support to maintain their independence and stay living in their own home. If people are finding their care needs and support requirements are increasing they can then be referred for a HomeCare Package by contacting My Aged Care or speaking with a BallyCara Support Advisor.
The CHSP provides subsidised support in a range of defined service types and BallyCara HomeCare is funded to provide the following in defined geographical locations, so please contact us to discuss further:
If you have been approved for a Commonwealth Home Support Program and need assistance our BallyCara staff will ensure any questions or requirements you may have are answered.
Your Support Plan will outline specific tasks to be completed during each type of service and will accommodate your preferences for service provision times and your wishes in relation to how support will be provided. Your Support Plan will include information about your goals, your strengths and skills; and outcomes will be reviewed in line with Aged Care Quality & Safety requirements or as indicated by your progress or wishes.
The Commonwealth Government funds the Commonwealth Home Support Program and has a client contribution policy, with a view to ensuring those who can afford to contribute to the cost of their care do so, while protecting those most vulnerable.
What you pay is discussed and agreed upon between you and the service provider. BallyCara HomeCare will discuss your contribution with you on commencement of your services. Your contribution towards services will have no effect on the age pension that you may receive.
Payment of fees is required on a monthly basis by an automated direct debit arrangement for services received the previous month.
Empowering you to make your own decisions and choices about the services you receive.
