Common questions about home care in Athlone
How many home care providers are there in Athlone?
None are based in Athlone itself, but 5 operate within 30 km. Home care providers service areas well beyond their office suburb, so this is rarely a barrier.
How much does home care in Athlone cost?
Your costs depend on your assessed Support at Home classification and your income and assets. Clinical care is fully government funded. You contribute a share of independence and everyday living services, and hourly rates vary between providers servicing Athlone, so compare two or three before committing.
Do I have to choose a provider in Athlone itself?
No. Providers set their own service areas and many cover a wide region, so a provider based in a neighbouring suburb may well service Athlone. Always confirm coverage directly.
What is the first step to arranging care in Athlone?
An assessment through My Aged Care (myagedcare.gov.au or 1800 200 422). Nothing is government funded until that assessment is done, and the queue moves slowly, so applying early is the single most useful thing you can do. You can shortlist providers while you wait.
