About Us

NursingHomes.com.au

NursingHomes.com.au was established to address the difficulties and stresses that families encountered when they approach the task of placing a loved one into residential care.

Each family undertaking an aged care placement for their loved one:

Approached the emotional task with much the same needs and concerns

Undertook similar activities - devoting their limited time and valuable efforts

Only to uncover the same information and sometimes make many of the usual mistakes

There had to be a better way to complete this important activity and to achieve a positive outcome for the family.

Over the years, NursingHomes.com.au have assisted many families with the move to retirement living, serviced apartments, group homes, assisted living, supported residential services and Commonwealth subsidised aged care accommodation.

NursingHomes.com.au have knowledge, experience and industry contacts which can help you today. If you have any questions, or need immediate assistance for your loved one, please contact our friendly team for a chat.

FAQs

Common Questions about Nursing Homes

Commonwealth Residential Care

refers to government-funded and regulated care facilities that provide accommodation and support for older adults or individuals with disabilities who are unable to live independently. This care includes assistance with daily activities, medical support, and personal care, aiming to improve the quality of life for residents.

Eligibility and Application

To apply for Commonwealth Residential Care, you need to complete an assessment process through My Aged Care (in Australia). This involves a comprehensive evaluation of your needs by an aged care assessment team (ACAT), which will determine your eligibility and the level of care required. You can start the process by contacting My Aged Care directly or through their website.

Types of Care

Commonwealth Residential Care facilities provide a range of services including assistance with daily living activities (such as bathing, dressing, and eating), medical and nursing care, social and recreational activities, and support for personal needs. The level of care can vary from basic assistance to high-level medical support, depending on individual requirements.

Residential Care Financials

Costs can vary depending on the facility and the level of care required. Generally, residents are expected to contribute to the cost of care through accommodation fees, care fees, and additional charges for extra services. The government provides subsidies to help cover some costs, and the exact amount you pay is based on your financial assessment and the facility’s pricing structure.

Finding the Right Aged Care Home

To find a suitable facility, use the My Aged Care website or contact their service center for information on available residential care options in your area. You can review facilities’ ratings, visit them in person, and speak with staff and current residents to ensure the facility meets your needs and preferences.

Ensuring Quality in Aged Care Homes

If you are dissatisfied with the care provided, you should first raise your concerns with the facility’s management or staff. Most facilities have procedures for addressing complaints and resolving issues. If the matter is not resolved to your satisfaction, you can escalate your concerns to the relevant government agency or ombudsman responsible for aged care services, such as the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission in Australia.
