Under consumer directed care (CDC) changes for home and community care, it is staff who have the power to provide the best deal for clients, not the provider.
Many individuals currently working in community care are frustrated by their inability to provide the best possible deal for their clients.
The component of a Home Care Package being charged by providers in Australia to cover “administration and case management” costs is reported to be between 30% and 55% of the government subsidy amount, with the average said to be 35% to 45%. The result of bloated provider overheads and corporate inefficiency, these exorbitant fees are a raw deal for clients and lead to reduced work hours and wages for dedicated staff.
With a lean, essentials only administrative structure, Home Care provider Envigor is set to radically change that proposition, with the introduction of its cost recovery only pricing policy for “administration and case management”, set at a maximum of just 10%.
Compared to the industry average, Envigor provides between $1,600 – $2,800 worth of extra services for a Level 1 home care package client and an extra $9,700 – $17,100 for a Level 4 client. That also equates to a whole lot more paid hours for staff.
With a rapidly expanding business, Envigor is looking for dedicated, experienced lifestyle support assistants and personal care workers to join the team now.
Opportunities also exist for experienced Care Service Managers & Case Managers to join the Envigor Business Partner Program, where managers are actively supported and assisted to establish autonomous Envigor Care Services in their local area and to share generously it the profits generated.
Envigor has an expectation that all staff, at all times, act in the best interests of their clients and give staff the authority and flexibility to do so.
