What is the Home Care Package Scheme?
The Home Care Support Scheme, which is more commonly known as the Home Care Package Scheme, is operated by the HSE and provides care in the home, mainly for older people who are at risk of admission to long-term care. The Scheme is also available to other groups needing care in the community, such as those with disabilities. Each Home Care Package is tailored to the needs of an individual, based on their medical condition and the level of care they need. So in some packages there might be more home care while other packages might include more therapy and nursing, depending on what is required.
Homecare Grant package can only be applied for through the local Public Health Nurse.
Our Care Manager will visit your home and will carry out a Homecare assessment that will detail your specific details and requirements .The Care Manager will develop a specific plan that will ascertain your needs. They will also liaise with the local primary health care team, including the local Public Health Nurse and family doctor.
Once the assessment has been completed, the Care Manager will allocate a carer that will be suitable to your specific requirements.
After the initial assessment, the Care Manager will be in regular contact with you to ascertain the quality of the service and to make any necessary changes to the service in the initial stages.
