Post-registration, you will have to go through the ACAT assessment which will involve a nurse, an occupational therapist and a physiotherapist.<\/p>\n<p>This assessment, which will take place on the property of your loved one, will gauge the level of care needed by your loved one and ensure that some part of package cost can be funded by the government.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, you will be notified of your eligibility for home caring within 10 days. However, depending upon how long the national queue is, it might take upto a year for the package to become available to you.<\/p>\n<h2>Final words<\/h2>\n<p>Home care packages, especially for the aged and dementia patients, is a boon.
