How?
To gain access to our facility you are required to have an assessment/ support plan.
This can be obtained from a Social Worker who will assess the person requiring aged care placement. This assessment includes information about your assessed needs and approval for you to move into an aged care facility.
You are also advised to complete an Income/ means test assessment, which can be completed through Centrelink. This form is known as the residential Aged Care Calculation of your cost of care (SA457). This will determine your fee structure, depending on your financial situation.
Please call and make an appointment to meet our team and view our facility, to assist you in making an informed decision on the placement of your loved one.
We will in turn support you through the process and provide you with an opportunity to ask question and establish a rapport, during your decision-making process.
