Care Management
Care management is an essential key component of every Home Care Package. It ensures you receive the appropriate level of support in a way that meets your current and future care needs. It should ensure there is no overlap, over-servicing or mismanagement of services.
Care management may include:
- regularly assess your needs, goals and preferences,
- review your home care agreement and care plan with you,
- ensure your care and services align with other supports,
- partner with you and your family or carers about your care,
- ensure your care and services are culturally safe,
- identify and address risks to your safety, health and wellbeing.
