Choosing the right home care provider is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when planning support for yourself or a loved one. Many people are surprised to learn how much the cost of home care can vary between providers, even when the government subsidy is the same. Understanding what influences cost of home care, and knowing what to look for in a provider, can help you make the best choice for your needs and your budget.
What impacts home care pricing?
The cost of home care depends on several factors, including:
- Your Home Care Package level and the funding it provides
- The services and supports you choose to include in your care plan
- How your provider manages care and administration charges
- Whether the provider charges a basic daily fee
- How efficiently your budget is managed
Unfortunately, some providers charge additional fees that quickly eat into your funding – leaving you with less to spend on actual care.
What is the basic daily fee?
The basic daily fee is an amount providers are allowed to ask clients to pay, in addition to the government subsidy. While it’s an optional fee for providers, many still charge it, which can add up to thousands of dollars each year.
At Trilogy Care, we believe your funding should go directly towards your care. That’s why we never charge a basic daily fee, helping you save money and make the most of your package.
