ABOUT US
Your home care journey starts here.
Texas Home Life Cares is a not-for-profit incorporated community organisation that provides remote community home care services in Texas, QLD and surrounding region.
The Australian Government’s home care funding program helps older Australians live safely and independently in their own homes.
We employ locals and work with local businesses to provide high-quality supports – whether you live in town or on surrounding rural properties.
As your care coordinators, we have partnered with Trilogy Care, a registered aged care provider, to host your home care funding. Our local team is dedicated to making home care supports accessible, personal and reliable
Our Services
SAH ONBOARDING
We will assist you in every step in applying for the Support at Home program, from preparing for your ACAT assessment to onboarding with Trilogy Care as the SAH provider.
FIND SUPPORT WORKERS
We will assist you in finding care workers and support workers that help you live safe, independent and connected to the community.
SAH MANAGEMENT
Have your support team managed by us, as well as any incidents or requests. Stay in control and remain independent while receiving support services.
Why Texas Home Life Care?
Remain healthy, independent, and connected.
We manage the parts of your home care funding that can be challenging, including:
- Finding and engaging the right support workers
- Scheduling care hours that suit you
- Tracking and managing your budget
We work with you and the local workforce to meet your needs. Once you choose your preferred support worker, we complete all compliance checks, including ABN, insurance and required licences. With Trilogy Care as your approved provider, you can expect more flexibility, value for money and a higher standard of care than traditional service models.
Providing Remote Community Care
In-home care is hard to come by in our region. There is a lack of choice in providers and care services who do not live within the community and charge significant costs for travel, and to service our communities.
These high charges result in less visits from care workers, and inadequate support to properly care the seniors in Texas. In many cases, our seniors have lived their entire lives on their property and want to remain living the way they know how.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you start with aged care?
All aged care services in Australia are coordinated through My Aged Care, your starting point for accessing Australian Government funded aged care programs and services.
Am I eligible for a Support at Home funding?
To satisfy the requirements of the Support at Home program, you must be ‘an older person who needs coordinated services to help them stay at home’. The eligibility requirements state you must be over 65 years of age or 50 years of age for a person of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage.
What is an ACAT assessment?
The Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) will assess your health, lifestyle and living situation, from this information they grant packages to consumers on four different levels of care:
Level 1: $10,731
Level 2: $16,034
Level 3: $21,965
Level 4: $29,696
Level 5: $39,697
Level 6: $48,114
Level 7: $58,148

What services are available with Support at Home funding?
There are various services you are able to receive through Support at Home funding (SAH). SAH funds can be used for home care services which assist you in remaining healthy, safe, independent, and connected to the community. Services that are specifically excluded by the Australian Government from being covered with SAH funds are excluded because they do not meet the immediate care needs of clients.
