Self-Managed Homecare Package Partnering with Trilogy Care
At Sai Care, we have partnered with Trilogy Care to bring you self-managed home care packages to meet your unique needs. This package was originally established by the Australian Government to assist older Australians to live independently in their homes. The program comprises flexible, tailored supports according to individuals’ healthcare needs. Funds are allocated after an assessment and include services to help the individual stay well and independent. In the homecare package, personal care, nursing and allied health support is included. If you are a recipient, you can also expect maximum comfort at home with cleaning, gardening, home maintenance and nutritional support. You can also stay connected with your community through transport and social support services.

By partnering with with Trilogy Care, we aim to support you to live well at home for a longer period through self-management of the Home Care Package. With personalised support tailored to your needs, you can maximise your Home Care Package budget. A dedicated care partner will assist you in accessing our clinical nurses and support you with finance and compliance so that you can live the way you want.

Features of Self-Managed Homecare Package
By opting for the self-management package, you can control your expenses related to home care. Besides, you get to:-
  • Design your care plan and budget with us
  • Control how your funds are spent
  • Choose the support workers you want and when you want them
  • Find services at affordable pricing
  • Ensure your services are paid on time
  • Increase your care hours with lower hourly rates
So, now that you have absolute control over the care package, rest assured that you are now surrounded by the the right professionals. You can now receive the service you want and how and when you need it. Furthermore, self-management will enable you to negotiate directly with service providers. This will help you get the most out of your budget.
Self-Managed Homecare Plans We Provide
As partners aiming to improve your well-being, we provide two self-managed home care plans. They are:
  • Self-Management: This plan is ideal for people who want to control their Home Care Package themselves or with the support of a family member.
  • Self-Management Plus: This plan comes with additional care coordination. It is ideal for individuals who want the benefit of self-managing, with extra help from a care coordinator throughout the year.
Self-Management and Self-Management Plus are both charged under a transparent fixed fee structure – currently 15% for Self-Managed and 26% for Self-Managed Plus – with no setup fees, no daily fees, or exit fees. This means more of your Home Care Budget is available for care and services, not provider fees.

Sai Care and Trilogy Care will manage the financial component of the package as partners, which will include payments, reimbursements, financial statements, liaising with Services Australia, etc., along with worker compliance and assign the client their case manager (aka Care Partner) to create a care plan & budget for the client. That case manager will also facilitate ongoing changes to the Care Plan and Budget. Self-managing is an opportunity for HCP recipients since they can maximise the care hours they can afford through their package and enable them to decide who will be their care providers. This offering is one of the best value-for-money HCP management options in Australia.

The only difference between self-managed and self-managed PLUS is that the client can assign his or her care coordinator. The professional will source and manage clients’ services and equipment.
