Making the applications

Application process

Most people who have been through the steps of aged care placement know that that the paperwork can be comprehensive.

Many aged care homes use the forms suggested by the Commonwealth but some use thier own application forms.

As well as the application forms, there is the Centrelink / DVA "Request for Assest Assessment". This form is a booklet, contains 28 pages, over 80 questions, and needs its own "information booklet" of 7 pages describing how to complete the first booklet.

Also have you completed the necessary Power of Attorney or Appointment of a Nominee forms?

Knowing what to do, and how to do it right the first time, will help you avoid delays in getting the paperwork processed.

Aged Care Connect can help you by:

Accurately completing all forms and applications and lodging them with each aged care facility.

Contacting the selected aged care facility to confirm receipt and assist with early acceptance.

Andrea has knowledge and experience in the application for guardianship rules - so if you have any questions about this area, contact Andrea.

We take that little extra effort to dot the i's and cross the t's to make sure our family clients get the best result possible.

Family Testimonials

My sincere thanks to you for just 'being there' at a time when relatives feel so vulnerable, having to deal with the mercenary side of their aged parents needs. I have total confidence in recommending your services should any of my friends be in a similar position. It has taken a huge weight off me, as not being well myself at this time, I found it all very draining. Thanking you once again for your very prompt and effective service and wishing you every success in the future. Kind regards

Leonore (22nd Nov 2011)

Thanks for all you have done for us

Mr. Anthony Severn (4th Feb 2011)

Again let me thank you for your professionalism and efficiency in these negotiations and I add a final note of gratitude from the Doyle Family, as we applaude the result. Our Father, now I'm sure, will settle down and be well looked after in this facility and we'll continue to keep a watchful eye over him in his new home.

Mr. Chris Doyle (10th Aug 2010)

Thanks for your assistance with helping us find a great place for mum and dad. kind regards.
