Moving In

the transition to residential aged care ...

“whilst I never wanted my mother to go into aged care, some of the most recent distressing events have changed my mind”

An aged care placement is challenging for the family at the best of times. The decision to move to aged care is usually made when a traumatic event has occured or there is a major change in the health of the person requiring extra care. Unfortunately, families often leave the decision to move until they have a crisis facing them and this increases stress on all concerned.

The Assessment...

“our doctor said that it was time that my mother was in an aged care home ... it was getting beyond us to keep caring for my mother ... finally common sense prevailed and we realised that it had to be done”

In order to move to high care nursing home or low care hostel accommodation, the person requires a current assessment by the Aged Care Assessment Service. This will indicate the category of accommodation and care required. A copy of the current assessment must be submitted to facilities if you wish to be placed on their waiting lists. It is the key to admission to all registered aged care facilities and government funding to the facility.

Searching for a Facility...

“a nursing home or low care hostel? it is unknown territory that I was not sure about ... they simply gave us a list of facilities and said make arrangements to find a placement”

The assessment team or social worker will provide you with a list of registered aged care facilities which may have high or low care, extra services, or dementia specific services.

Choosing the Right Place...

“the real value of any facility is not the state of the building, but the quality of the staff who work there and give the care”

Consider your requirements carefully. Single rooms can be very isolating for some residents, but shared rooms do restrict privacy. Visit as many facilities as you wish. Talk through concerns and issues with social workers, assessment team members, doctors and friends who have been through the placement process.

Moving In...

“suddenly an aged care home said that we have a vacancy - you have the day to decide ... I rang them and said we'll take it”

The waiting time may be the most difficult as this can sometimes take months. Accepting a place when offered can also be very stressful. But, most aged care facilities expect a quick response. It is a time of high emotions, grieving and guilt, relief, regret and uncertainty about the future. Talking to someone who is experienced in aged care placement will be a great benefit...

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)
