Assessing your aged care options

The category of aged care home that will be applicable to your family requirements will be largely dependent upon the result of the Aged Care Assessment undertaken by the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). More information about ACAT's.

Types of aged care home

Low level care is that which was formerly provided by "hostels" and high level care by "nursing homes." The essential difference is that hostels provide only some level of nursing care while nursing homes provide 24 hour nursing care.

Some homes provide only low level care and some only high level, while many now provide both so that you can "age in place."

If you enter a home that specialises in low level care you may have to move to a high level home if you become more frail.

High level care is usually 24 hour nursing care combined with accommodation, support services (cleaning, laundry and meals), personal care services (help with dressing, eating, toileting, bathing and moving around) and allied health services (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, recreational therapy and podiatry).
