Amicis Aged Care - Services

Which services will allow you to live life to the fullest?

We all want something different out of life. That’s why the services you need to stay independent and live life the way you want should be chosen to meet your individual needs.

From the range of services below, we’ll help tailor a Home Care Package to your needs, so you can continue to thrive and enjoy every day.

Stay healthy

Staying healthy can be a challenge as you age. Amicis can help you tailor your Home Care Package with services that keep you healthy, active and feeling great.

Personal services

Maintain your personal hygiene and stay looking good with bathing showering, personal hygiene, grooming, dressing and undressing, toileting, mobility and transfers.

At home nursing

Treat and monitor your medical conditions including management of skin integrity, continence management and clinical care.

Care management

Transport

Get to appointments, the shops and other community activities.

Social outings and visits

F.A.Q.

What else could be included?

Home Care Packages need to be flexible to meet your needs. But there may be other care and services that can help you stay healthy and happy at home.

With our help, we can work out if care or a service is what you need:

Is directly linked to your identified care needs and goals
Will improve your health and wellbeing
Is necessary for you to remain living safely and independently in your home
Can be delivered within your Home Care Package budget
Would be considered an acceptable use of government funds

A Home Care Package is designed to be used for, or to replace care and services you can access through other health programs you may be eligible for. You should continue accessing these through your GP and hospitals if and when needed.

What services are not included?

The Quality of Care Principles 2014 lists those care and services that must not be included in the package. These are always excluded; even if they may advance the care recipient’s assessed ageing related care needs and goals, as they are not aligned to the intent and scope of the HCP Program.

The following items must not be included in a package of care and services under the HCP Program

Services, goods or supports that people are expected to cover out of their general income throughout their life regardless of age
Accommodation costs
Payment of home care fees
Payment of fees or charges for care or services funded or jointly funded by the Australian Government
Payment for services and items covered by the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) or the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) (or items that should be considered for funding through these schemes)
Provision of cash debit cards or like payments to care recipients for any purpose
