Common questions about home care in Lucas
How many home care providers are there in Lucas?
2 home care services are based in Lucas on the current national service list. Widening to 30 km gives 18 options in total.
How much does home care in Lucas 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 Lucas, so compare two or three before committing.
Do I have to choose a provider in Lucas 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 Lucas. Always confirm coverage directly.
What is the first step to arranging care in Lucas?
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.
