Common Questions About Residential Aged Care

  • What is residential aged care?

    An aged care home (also called residential aged care) is for older people who can no longer live independently at home and need ongoing help with everyday tasks or health care. The government funds a range of aged care homes across Australia to provide care and support services to those who need it. 

  • What do aged care homes provide?

    Aged Care Homes provide accommodation, personal care, and access to clinical nursing services 24 hours a day, as well as general health care, social activities and everyday living services (e.g. foodservices and laundry)

  • What is an aged care assessment?

    An aged care assessment for residential care is a comprehensive evaluation conducted by the Australian government organisation 'My Aged Care' to determine an individual's eligibility for government-funded aged care services. It aims to ensure that individuals receive the most appropriate and tailored care based on their assessed needs. It assesses physical, medical, psychological, and social needs to recommend appropriate care.

  • How do you apply for an aged care assessment?

  • What is palliative care in aged care?

Depending on a person’s needs and circumstances, palliative care can be provided at home or in a residential aged care setting.
