- Services
You can offer a range of ongoing and short-term services through the Support at Home program. These services should support each participant’s assessed aged care needs, goals and preferences. - Care management
You must undertake care management activities for all participants. Dedicated care partners must work with participants to plan and review their care and services. - Self-management
Participants can choose to manage parts of their care under Support at Home. You are still responsible for the care and services delivered to participants, including care management. - Assistive Technology and Home Modifications (AT-HM) scheme
This scheme provides separate funding to participants for the assistive technology and home modifications that they need, which is available for 12 months (in most cases). - Restorative Care Pathway
This pathway provides up to 16 weeks of intensive allied health and nursing services to restore a participant’s function, support ongoing independence, regain skills and prevent further age-related decline. - End-of-Life Pathway
This pathway supports older people with 3 months or less to live who want to remain at home. It offers extra in-home aged care support for 12 weeks and is designed to complement state and territory palliative care services. - Interaction with other programs
Support at Home interacts with other government-funded aged care programs. In some cases, participants may be able to access other programs at the same time as Support at Home.
