Do you need daily support, short-term respite or permanent care?

See our frequently asked questions for information on the residential aged care facilities Anglicare offers.

Before you enter residential care you need to be assessed by an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). 

ACATs are generally based at hospitals or community centres and you can get a referral from your local doctor. To arrange this free assessment, call 1800 200 422 or visit myagedcare.gov.au

Each home is different so we recommend you visit a few. Speak with staff and residents, see how the home operates, view accommodation, talk about fees and ask questions.

It’s important you understand costs involved. While the Government subsidises aged care, how much you pay depends on your financial situation.

This is determined by Centrelink once you have completed and submitted the income and asset form.

After choosing your new home, complete the application forms and meet with one of our clinical leaders.

This ensures that the care and support you applied for is still relevant and the home is suitable for you.

Once you’ve been offered a place and you wish to accept it, you will be asked to sign the resident agreement before you move in.

It’s important you understand what you’re signing and ask any questions you may have.
