A Home Care Package Level 4 is the highest level of support available through the Home Care Packages program. It is specifically designed for individuals who have high-level care needs and require significant assistance to perform daily tasks, manage health conditions, and maintain independence at home.

Level 4 offers more intensive care than Levels 1, 2, or 3, making it ideal for those with advanced care needs who still wish to live independently in their own homes.
