What are Self Managed Home Care Packages?
Self managed home care packages empower individuals to have greater control over their care services. With self-management, recipients can choose and manage their own support services, including hiring and coordinating caregivers, purchasing assistive equipment, and arranging other necessary services tailored to their needs.
