What is a home care package?

Home care packages are a government subsidised program that enable senior citizens (over the age of 65) to live at home for as long as possible and maximise their independence. These packages are consumer-directed, which means that customers are empowered to choose how their funds are spent, according to their needs. Home care packages provide seniors with the support they need to live fulfilling lives on their own terms. 

Aston Lucas Gourmet partners with Home Care Package providers to deliver delicious gourmet ready-made meals. With food preparation being as simple as heating up in our microwave and oven-safe packaging, participants can enjoy a homemade meal with minimal effort and maximum taste, at a fraction of the cost.

How to order:

  1. Enquire with your HCP provider to partner with Aston Lucas Gourmet. If your provider isn’t already a partner with us, you can still be eligible for our home care packages- we will simply have to do some extra paperwork to set this up. 
  2. Your HCP provider will send through your referral to us and our dedicated team will email you with further instructions regarding the ordering process.
  3. Place your order on our online store using a custom coupon code for HCP participants. You pay 30% of the invoice upfront and the remaining 70% will be sent by us to your HCP provider (in other words, we take care of everything once you’ve paid the 30%).
  4. Your Aston Lucas Gourmet order will be delivered to your door*, ready for you to enjoy our delicious range of homemade meals.
