Fees and charges for aged care providers are freely available on the My Aged Care website, however, Caron Geracitano, acting Home Care Manager, says that Barossa Village always encourages anyone enquiring about aged care services in their home, to contact several aged providers for a comparison of fees and charges and different models of service.
“Each provider has its own model of service delivery, so it pays to investigate further.”
“Barossa Village for example, in addition to having its own team of Care Coordinators based here in the Barossa, also employs its own nursing staff, which other providers may outsource for service.”
Ms Geracitano explains, “Also having specialised contractors to deliver services in a package, means that a client can have a broad range of services, from window cleaning and gardening, right through to clinical care needs, delivered by Barossa Village.”
“With this model, we can include the cost of hours required to deliver a person’s care needs, clinical care, and ongoing face to face support, within the management and administration of these services, into one fee structure.”
