June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month. This month highlights the global objective to raise awareness and educate people about the warning signs of Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Identifying Alzheimer’s early connects people with the treatments and support networks they need urgently.

Key Alzheimer’s symptoms to watch for:
✨ Memory loss, especially recent events
✨ Difficulty performing daily tasks or coordinating activities
✨ Language challenges, like trouble finding words
✨ Disorientation in time or place
✨ Organisation problems, misplacing items, or loss of interest in hobbies

We encourage consultation with doctors, geriatric specialists, or neurologists for medical assessment, diagnosis, and tailored management.

At Gratitude In-home Care In Home Care, we provide tailored support for participants with Alzheimer’s across Australia with the self-managed and part-managed services, and offer provider managed services for participants living with Alzheimer’s in Melbourne.

With all support options, we currently have immediate capacity to welcome new clients living with Alzheimer’s.

Whether you want to steer your own care, share the load, or have it fully managed, Gratitude In Home Care is here to help.

The Australian Government has announced that the new Aged Care Act 2024 and Support at Home (SAH) program will now start on 1 November 2025, instead of 1 July.

Minister for Aged Care and Seniors, Sam Rae MP, said the change follows feedback from older Australians, families, carers, and aged care workers. The extra time will help everyone better understand the changes and prepare for what’s ahead.
The new Act will strengthen the rights of older people and improve care quality. It includes clear guidelines for how aged care providers and workers must act.

People receiving care through Home Care Packages and Short-Term Restorative Care will continue receiving services until Support at Home is rolled is officially rolled out.

You can find more information on the support at home program on our website under the resources tab on the top header at 🌐 gihc.com.au.

Starting 1 July 2025, the Support at Home program will offer 8 funding levels (called classifications). Each classification provides a quarterly budget (received every three months), which adds up to an annual amount.

Budgets are paid every 3 months and cover approved in-home services.

Unused funds—up to $1,000 or 10% of your quarterly budget will rollover (whichever is greater) to use later! However, any amount beyond this limit will not be carried over.

13/05/2025

With a self-managed package, you’re in full control. You decide who provides your care, how it’s delivered, and when. You can choose your own care workers or use any provider that aligns with your needs — even those not on your provider’s network. Plus, you manage your own budget, approve invoices, and often benefit from lower admin fees, meaning more of your funding goes directly to your care.

Self-managing gives you the flexibility to hire your own staff, negotiate rates, and customise services to fit your daily routine. But it also comes with more responsibility — you’ll need to handle paperwork, payments, and compliance yourself, or find someone to help you do it.

On the other hand, a provider-managed package takes the weight off your shoulders. Your provider coordinates services, manages your budget, hires staff, and takes care of all the admin and compliance. It’s ideal if you prefer a hands-off approach and want professional support every step of the way — though keep in mind, this comes with higher fees and less flexibility in who delivers your care.

✨ So, what’s right for you?
Choose self-management if you’re independent and want maximum choice.
Opt for provider management if you prefer convenience and expert support.

We’re happy to help you navigate your options. We’re a national provider of self-managed and fully managed Home Care Package services.

We offer flexible care options to suit your needs and budget:
✅ Fully Self-Managed – just 15% of your Home Care Package (HCP)
✅ Semi Self-Managed – only 25% of your HCP
✅ Fully Managed – comprehensive support at 30% of your HCP

Choose the level of support that’s right for you — with transparency and value every step of the way.

Fully self-managed home care services like those offered by Gratitude, give clients the freedom to take control of their own care while still getting support with the important stuff behind the scenes.

Here’s how it works:
✨ You’re in charge: With a fully self-managed package, you organise your own support workers, contractors, and allied health professionals. This gives you full flexibility to choose who supports you and when.

✨ Low admin fees: Gratitude only charges a 15% admin fee of your home care package subsidy. This is much lower than traditional providers, meaning more of your funding goes directly to your care.

✨ Big savings, more care: If you're on a Level 4 package, you could save up to $12,415 per year or get up to 250 extra hours of care annually compared to higher-fee options.

✨ Professional oversight: All clients have personalised care plans designed and monitored by registered nurses, so you still get expert input and peace of mind.

✨ Still supported: Even though you manage your care, Gratitude takes care of the backend, processing invoices weekly and monthly statements, so you don’t have to stress about paperwork.

In short: Fully self-managed services are ideal if you want control, flexibility, and to stretch your funding further without losing support from a caring, professional team.
