At IRT we understand that it’s difficult to know where to start, when trying to understand your home care options.
To assist with your home care journey, we’ve answered some of your most commonly asked questions.
Home care is a range of services that help you to live independently at home for longer. IRT can help you with household chores, personal care and social outings.
You might be ready for home care services if:
You’re having trouble with daily tasks, like shopping, cooking and cleaning
You’d like to get out more but need help with physical mobility or transport
Keeping on top of your health and personal care is getting harder.
Speak to our friendly customer service team and get independent advice from your GP and My Aged Care if you’re unsure.
Whether you need a little bit of assistance, or a lot, you can trust our experienced home care staff to understand you and meet your needs.
The cost of your home care services are dependent on the level of care you need, the types of services you are after and if you are eligible for government support. Whether you are receiving government support or wish to pay for your services privately we have put together an easy to use guide to help choose the right option that best suits you.
