Quality care is a right, not a privilege.
Unfortunately, even with generous subsidies and free healthcare, the privatised care sector in Australia has become notorious for rorting and overcharging, leaving the most vulnerable in our society with an appalling lack of care.
Our mission at Angel Assist is to revolutionise the delivery of care in Australia. We have created a system of care that can be delivered at practically zero weekly expense. Here's how we do it:
Step #1 - We Find You an Angel Assistant
We arrange an Angel Assistant (helpful housemate) who receives free food and board in return for a set number of hours of chores per week. The chores do not require a high degree of training and can include cleaning, shopping, gardening, mowing and cooking etc. With the current shortage of housing, the live-in carer benefits by relieving them of housing stress and enabling them to build up their savings. You benefit by having someone around who can offer companionship, safety and support.
Step #2 - We Arrange the Carer's Pension
If you have a high level of need and both you and your live-in carer meet the government's requirements, it is possible to arrange for your live-in carer to receive the Carer Payment of up to $967.50 per fortnight and the Carer Allowance of $136.50 per fortnight. This equates to $552 per week plus the free food and board. In this instance, your live-in carer must provide you with full-time care and is not allowed to spend more than 25 hours working outside your home. For live-in carers who will be providing this higher level of care, we arrange training to make sure they are capable of meeting your increased needs.
Step #3 - Use the Home Care Package for Qualified Care
If you have complex care needs, we can refer you to fully qualified supporting staff who are trained in either nursing or disability/aged care. These staff are paid on an hourly basis and can help you with medication management, wound care, grooming and personal hygiene. It is possible to use your Home Care Package to pay for these staff.
Angel Assist can assist you as much or as little as you like
If you like, in addition to recruiting and screening staff for you and helping with grants, we can also refer you to a case worker to help you navigate the system and coordinate your daily care requirements. They will simplify the entire process for you and give you a single point of contact who can be with you at every step in your journey. Your case worker will help you apply for every applicable grant, arrange medical appointments and allied health care, attend appointments with you, communicate your needs, manage your care team and provide regular random checks to ensure you are receiving the highest quality care.
Let us help you arrange free full-time care!
