Adelaide home care provider has approved status revoked after Dept of Health identifies severe risks to clients

Assist HomeCare has been banned from receiving Government subsidies for six months and had an administrator appointed after the Department of Health found a range of serious concerns including issues with management, risk management and care plan development and delivery. A Department spokesperson told The Advertiser all care recipients have now been placed with alternative providers. Question: how will they recover those clients … and how will they survive? The organisation has recently been acquired by DJ Health Services, which owns a number of disability senior and respite care services providers across Australia. A reminder that home care providers are subject to the same standards as aged care providers.
