There are so many questions when you or a loved one is moving into aged care...

We have put together some of the most commonly asked questions about aged care, including eligibility, things to consider, and how to prepare to move but if we have missed anything just give us a call.

What do I need to enter aged care?

Before entering aged care, you must complete an ACAT assessment. Aged care assessments are conducted by a local Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). You can apply for an ACAT online HERE or your GP may assist.

How much does it cost?

The cost of aged care depends on income and assets as well as care needs and room availability. The Australian Government subsidises a range of aged care services and expects residents to contribute to the cost of care if they can afford to do so.

We recommend you seek independent financial advice to ensure that the resident is making the best financial decision for their circumstance. We also recommend completing an income/asset test which can be accessed online HERE .

Can I pop in for a site tour?

Site tours are available via appointment only. It's important to have the necessary information about your loved one before scheduling a tour. To make an appointment or for further information, please contact our Admissions Coordinator.
