Questions worth asking Mid North Community Care Packages

Because there is no published rating for home care, what a provider will put in writing is the real test.

  1. Which services do you actually deliver yourself, and which do you subcontract? Ask who will be in the house.
  2. What is your hourly rate for personal care, nursing and domestic help, and what do you charge for care management? Ask for it in writing.
  3. You operate 22 services across 1 state. Who is my local contact, and will I get the same worker each visit?
  4. How much of my Support at Home budget goes to your fees rather than to hours of actual care? Care management is capped, so ask them to show the split.
  5. How quickly can you start, and can you take me if my package is approved but not yet assigned?
How this list works. Every service shown here comes from the Australian Government aged care service list. Nobody can pay to be ranked higher, and nobody can pay to hide a rating. When you request personalised options, providers who take part pay CareShortlist a flat referral fee. That fee never changes what you see here and is never charged to you. Read exactly how we work.
