Residential aged care is personal or nursing care for frail older people who can no longer live independently in their own homes. It does not include care provided in a person's private home, in hospital, or in a facility that primarily provides care to people who are not frail and aged.
A Home Care Package provides a coordinated package of services tailored to meet the specific care needs of a person, in their own home.
