Anyone planning to enter residential aged care needs to be assessed by the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). To arrange your free assessment, call 1800 200 422 or contact Anglicare on 1300 111 278 for assistance.

Anglicare has over 20 residential aged care homes in various areas - you’ll find details of each on our website. Once you’ve decided which you’re interested in, we encourage you to visit so you can speak with staff and residents, view the accommodation, see how the home works, talk about fees and ask questions. Call 1300 111 278 to arrange a visit to any of our homes.

It’s important you understand costs involved. While the government subsidises aged care, how much you will need to pay depends on your financial situation. This is determined by Centrelink once you have completed and submitted the income and asset form.

Once you’ve made your decision, complete the application forms and meet with one of our clinical leaders. This will help us to understand your care needs and ensure we can provide the right support.

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.

Transitioning into residential aged care can seem overwhelming, but we are here to help you through every step.
