PRIVATE SERVICE
Dedicated Carers can provide private home care services If you want support at home but dont yet have access to funding or would rather just cover the costs yourself and not go through the intense and at times intrusive assessment process.

This option is not for everyone, but is definitely an option to consider prior to getting your home care package assigned which can take up to six months.
