Understand your funding options and be empowered make informed decisions about your care.
ECH stands for ‘enabling more confidence at home’. Our services exist to help you ‘stay who you are, where you are’ as you age.
As one of the largest not-for-profit providers of integrated retirement living accommodation and ageing care services in South Australia, we pride ourselves on delivering outstanding levels of service and want you to be confident in both our quality of care, and our pricing.
We review our prices periodically to ensure they are competitive with other aged care providers, whilst ensuring that we maintain our high standards, and can continue serving our clients in the future.
Funding your care – Government and Self-Funded Options
Understanding how to pay for your home care should be easy. At ECH, we offer three simple ways to access the tailored support you need.
Government-Subsidised Care
Your care journey begins with an independent assessment from My Aged Care (MAC). This assessment determines the type and amount of government funding you are eligible for, ensuring your support is right for you.
