Linkages is a case management service which has brokerage funds to purchase additional service for people whose needs cannot be met entirely by the usual level of HACC services.
- Complex care needs
- Require frequent monitoring as needs are subject to rapid change
- Have care needs requiring the integration of formal and informal supports
- Require advocacy and monitoring
- Have carers whose quality of life is compromised by their caring role
- Have difficulty accessing supports through normal HACC programs
A Linkages client should have a need for case management and where appropriate brokerage and have a desire and commitment to remain living at home.
Your Care Manager can help you access general Home and Community Care services available to you before funding additional services. The amount of support provided is flexible and tailored to what you require within the available resources and funding. Services may include home care, personal and respite care, recreational activities and equipment, and social support.
Each person's needs are different. Although you or the person you are caring for may have the same medical condition as another Care Connect client, factors such as financial situation, availability of support from extended family and friends and the person's age, can all influence the level and type of services provided.
