Frequently Asked Questions
We do things differently. Trilogy Care offers a self-managed model where you choose your own trusted local workers at lower, flexible rates. That means lower hourly prices and lower contributions, which allows for more care hours from your funding when compared with fully managed providers.
Trilogy Care keeps home care fees low so more of your funding turns into real support, not overheads. Traditional providers usually charge one high, fixed hourly rate and keep a larger slice of your budget in management and admin.
Trilogy Care’s Support at Home pricing is made up of two parts: your care management fee and your hourly service pricing. Together, they determine how far your funding goes each quarter.
1. Care management fee: the same 10% with every provider
Under Support at Home, the care management fee is set at 10% for all approved providers, including Trilogy Care. It covers things like:
- Setting up and reviewing your care plan
- Making sure services match your assessed needs and goals
- Safety checks and reporting requirements
Because this percentage is the same across the board, the real difference between providers comes down to the hourly rates providers charge.
2. Hourly pricing: cost of service + loading
Trilogy Care’s hourly pricing is made up of the worker’s rate plus a small loading fee. The loading fee supports all admin, financial, and compliance systems required to manage client funding smoothly.
With Trilogy Care, you choose your workers, rates and timing, rather than being locked into a single high hourly rate set by a traditional provider. That gives you real control over how much you are charged and how many care hours you can afford.
When you compare home care costs, the real saving with Trilogy Care usually shows up as extra hours of support and lower personal contributions, not money sitting unused.
Because our provider fees are lower and you can use local workers at lower hourly rates, many clients receive noticeably more care hours than they would with traditional fully managed providers.
In one example from our comparison calculator, Lynne Fox, a self-funded retiree with high nursing needs, saves around $1,356 in personal contributions per month compared with some traditional providers.
That extra value can be in the form of more personal care visits each week, extra cleaning or gardening to keep you comfortable at home, or more social support.

Yes. Trilogy Care offers affordable home care services by cutting waste, not quality.
Traditional providers often charge more because of higher head office costs and rigid pricing structures. Trilogy Care keeps those costs lean and focuses your funding on the workers who support you at home. You choose workers who fit your needs and personality and can change workers if the match is not right.
Your care partner helps review your plan, checks that services still line up with your goals and adjusts as your needs change. You also see clear records of what has been delivered and what has been billed.
That combination of choice, visibility and active support keeps quality high while the price stays lower.
Trilogy Care has no hidden home care fees. We explain your provider fee, your expected contributions and your planned services in plain language before you sign up.
With Trilogy Care you do NOT pay:
- Sign-up fees
- Exit fees
- Surprise management add-ons you have not agreed to
You always see your quarterly Support at Home funding, your required contribution, the hourly rates you have chosen and how much budget remains to use.
Some everyday expenses sit outside Support at Home rules and must be paid privately, but we make that clear from the start, so nothing catches you off guard.
The aim is simple, transparent pricing that builds trust and makes it easy to decide if Trilogy Care is the right fit for you.
