•     Home support (Commonwealth Home Support Program), which provides entry-level services
      focused on supporting individuals to undertake tasks of daily living to enable them to be more
      independent at home and in the community.
•     Home care (Home Care Packages Program), which is a more structured, more comprehensive
      package of home-based support, provided over four levels.
•     Residential aged care, which provides support and accommodation for people who have been
      assessed as needing higher levels of care than can be provided in the home, and the option
      for 24-hour nursing care. Residential care is provided on either a permanent, or a temporary
      (respite) basis.
As illustrated in the following figures the clients of home support are generally younger than those of
home care, who in turn are generally younger than those in residential care.
