Aged care placement - aged care homes
Common questions and concerns
While each family situation has a different set of requirements,
there are a number of standard questions that seem to be asked by our family clients.
We hope the answers provided here will help you in your aged care placement activities.
What are the main types of aged care homes?
Low level Care
Low-level care is for people who need some help,
but do not have very complex ongoing care needs.
Low care includes:
accommodation-related services — furnishings, bedding, general laundry,
some toiletries, cleaning services, all meals, maintenance of buildings and grounds,
and the provision of staff on call to provide emergency assistance, and
personal care services — assistance with the activities of daily living, such
as bathing, going to the toilet, eating, dressing, moving around, maintaining
continence or managing incontinence, rehabilitation support, and assistance in
obtaining health and therapy services.
High care residents must
be provided with additional items, care and services such as:
Nursing
services and equipment, such as equipment to assist with mobility, continence
aids, basic medical and pharmaceutical supplies and equipment, helping with medications,
provision of therapy services and short term oxygen.
If you have queries
about specified care and services, please contact the Aged Care Information Line
on 1800 500 853.
All Commonwealth Subsidised Aged Care Homes must also
meet the requirements under the Accreditation Standards for Residential Aged Care.
