Enhancing Home Living: Support Services for Families of HCP and CHSP Recipients
Navigating the realm of aged care involves much more than medical assistance; it encompasses creating a supportive home environment that promotes independence and wellbeing for the elderly. Home Care Packages (HCP) and Commonwealth Home Support Programmes (CHSP) are designed to aid older Australians in living comfortably at home. While Sistability is not an aged care provider, we specialise in partnering with registered aged care providers to offer essential non-medical services such as professional cleaning, gardening, domestic assistance, social and community support, and transport. This blog will guide you through these supportive services, showing how they can enhance the daily life of your loved ones.
Understanding HCP and CHSP: Essential Services at Home
Both HCP and CHSP aim to assist elderly individuals to remain in their homes by offering support that ranges from basic assistance to comprehensive care, depending on their needs. Here’s how Sistability complements these programs through our support services:
Home Care Packages (HCP)
These packages provide more comprehensive support for those with complex care needs and include a variety of services that can be tailored to the individual’s requirements, including the non-medical supportive services that Sistability offers.
Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP)
Designed for those who need light assistance to maintain their independence at home, CHSP provides services like cleaning and transportation, which are among Sistability's specialties.
The Role of Families in Enhancing Home Support
While HCP and CHSP offer the framework for care, families play a critical role in ensuring their loved ones receive the right type of support. Sistability’s services are designed to work alongside these care programs to ensure a holistic approach to home living.
Coordinating Support Services
Families often take the lead in coordinating various services that make daily life easier and more enjoyable for their elderly loved ones. Sistability can help streamline this process by providing reliable and high-quality non-medical support.
Tailoring Services to Fit Individual Needs
Each individual’s needs are unique, and so the flexibility of our services allows families to customise support according to their specific preferences and requirements.
