Better care, brighter futures: 2025 and beyond

2025 Trilogy Care update new year changes

As the New Year begins, we at Trilogy Care are looking ahead to explore how we can continue to enhance aged care for you. One of the most significant changes coming up is the Support at Home program, and we’re here to keep you updated and informed every step of the way.

We’re also making exciting improvements to our day-to-day services. From upgrading the Trilogy Care Portal to introducing new initiatives, everything we’re doing is focused on improving your experience as a care recipient.

Support at Home – helping you transition

On 1 July 2025, the Support at Home program will officially replace Home Care Packages. If this sounds overwhelming, don’t worry—Trilogy Care is here to guide you through the transition and ensure it’s as seamless as possible.

For those already receiving a Home Care Package, the “No Worse Off” principle guarantees you’ll retain your current care hours, funding, and services. Your wellbeing remains our top priority.

Have questions or concerns? Our team is always here to help and provide the information you need.

Trilogy Care Portal: easier, faster, better

We’ve been working behind the scenes to upgrade the Trilogy Care Portal, making it even easier for you to self-manage your care.

Here’s what’s new:

  • Improved budget visibility so you can see exactly where your funds are going
  • Faster payments for greater convenience
  • Simplified access to forms to save you time

These updates are part of our ongoing commitment to delivering a smoother, more efficient experience for you.

The Single Assessment System

In late 2024, the aged care assessment process underwent a big change. The introduction of the Single Assessment System (SAS) combines ACAT and RAS assessments, the old assessment systems, into one streamlined process.

With the SAS, you’ll benefit from:

  • A more effective way of identifying your care needs
  • Reassessments with the same organisation, so you don’t have to retell your story

This change makes accessing the right care simpler and less stressful for you.

Home Care Academy: expanded learning opportunities

Our Home Care Academy, launched in 2024, provides a free, valuable online learning resource for care recipients, their families, and carers. As we move into 2025, we’re adding even more courses to help you stay informed and empowered.

We’ll keep you updated on new courses and how they can benefit you.

Looking ahead to 2025

2025 is set to be a transformative year for aged care, and Trilogy Care is here to support you every step of the way.

From the introduction of Support at Home to exciting improvements in our Portal, Home Care Academy, and assessment systems, we’re focused on ensuring your experience continues to improve. As always, if you need assistance contact your care partner, call 1300 459 190, or send us a message on our website.

Thank you for being part of the Trilogy Care community. Together, we’re building a brighter future for aged care.

How can older people improve their nutrition intake?

nutrition older people Trilogy Care

As you age, your dietary needs can start to change. You might find yourself eating less, choosing healthier options, or needing specific nutrients. No matter what changes you’re making, ensuring your nutritional intake aligns with your health needs is increasingly important as your body, lifestyle, and appetite evolve.

The importance of good nutrition

As we grow older, it becomes crucial to consume a diet rich in essential vitamins and minerals. Without adequate nutrition, older Australians may become more susceptible to chronic illnesses or experience weakened immune systems, leading to more frequent sickness.

What should I change about my diet?

Nutrition Australia recommends starting with simple dietary improvements, such as:

  • Choosing foods rich in vitamins
  • Reducing salt intake
  • Increasing calcium through milk or yoghurt
  • Drinking more water
  • Limiting alcoholic beverages
  • Cutting down on unhealthy fats

These small, practical steps can help improve your overall health and reduce illness.

What support is available?

If you’re looking to eat healthier and improve your nutrition, Trilogy Care is here to support you. Your care partner can provide advice tailored to your needs, and you can also use your Home Care Package funding to access professional support from a nutritionist or dietitian.

One challenge for Home Care Package recipients is receiving healthy, nutritious meals regularly. However, Trilogy Care clients using Cookaborough can select from an extensive range of menus offered by various food providers.

Cookaborough delivers ready-made, nutritious meals directly to your door, and these meals can be funded through your Home Care Package. As a bonus, Cookaborough is currently offering a $20 discount on your first order, making it the perfect time to explore their healthy meal options.

What if I have a poor appetite?

If you’re struggling with a lack of appetite, it can feel challenging to eat nutritious meals. Below are some practical tips to help maintain healthy eating habits:

  • Include high-protein supplemental foods to meet your nutrient needs when you’re unable to eat full meals
  • Focus on meals that are high in protein and calories if you’re experiencing weight loss
  • Use healthy snacks to supplement meals if larger portions feel overwhelming

These strategies can help you maintain a balanced diet and support your health, even when your appetite isn’t at its best.

Supporting your nutrition journey

As a self-managed Home Care Package recipient, you’re in control of your support. If you’re ready to make positive changes to your diet and lifestyle, our team at Trilogy Care will ensure you have the right resources and guidance to achieve your goals.
