Step 1: Assessing Eligibility
The first step in considering entry into an aged care home subsidised by the Australian Government is to undergo a free assessment with an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). This assessment, conducted by a doctor and/or other healthcare professionals, will determine your eligibility for care and identify the specific care services you may need.
Step 2: Understanding Costs
Before choosing a residence, it’s important to have a clear understanding of the costs and fees involved in aged care. These include accommodation fees and daily care costs. We’re here to help guide you through the financial side of things and find the best options for your needs. It is also advisable to speak to a financial advisor about your individual financial situation to ensure you make the most informed decision.
Step 3: Start Your Search
Once you have completed the ACAT assessment and received approval for residential aged care, you can begin visiting and applying to different aged care homes. This is the time to explore your options and find the right place that meets your needs.
