Aged
care placement consultantsAged Care Connect is a comprehensive and independent
aged care placement service offering families unbiased advice and practical assistance
on all residential care matters - from assisting you to select an aged care home
based upon quality of care and lifestyle programs to understanding the financials
associated with residential care. Our extensive knowledge and experience
has been used by hundreds of families to make sure that an informed decision is
made about the important area of arranging an aged care placement. Selecting
and aged care homeIf only selecting the right aged care home involved just
browsing an online aged care directories or reading glossy brochures ! That would
be easy. The reality is that an accurate assessment of quality care,
accommodation, and lifestyle services provided by any aged care home requires
proper research and time-consuming tasks that must go well beyond looking at the
carefully selected images and marketing content provided by aged care providers.
Well, that's what we think - and we would hope you agree.
Making sure that you make the right decision can sometimes be overwhelming. What
is the quality of care provided? Are the care staff only "task orientated"
or do they go that extra step to ensure that residents enjoy a quality experience
?Are there worthwhile activity programs established? Is the aged care home within
the family budget? Do you take a vacancy just because it is there - or will you
regret the hasty decision? There are a large number of factors to consider,
so choosing the right aged care home for your family can become a daunting task
for a beginner. Our Credentials Aged Care Connect has been actively
involved with helping families with residential care since 2002. There is no substitute
for this experience and deep knowledge, gained from working with families going
through the same issues that you face today. Along our journey, we have
been careful to collect useful information and insights into all aspects of aged
care placement. If you're totally at a loss as to where or how to begin
your search, contact us and we can share this useful advice with you. It makes
us feel great too; our team is built upon the utmost compassion and empathy for
the family situation during this emotional time. Knowing that your loved
one resides in a caring, calm and tranquil environment will definately give you
peace of mind. At the very least, we hope you explore our website and
find some really useful information that has a direct impact upon assisting you

Andrea, I am really impressed with Ashley Terrace and am extremely happy with
the placement. I visited my mum again today and for the first time she seemed
back to her bright self, good skin, bright eyes, pretty blouse and fresh lipstick!!
Mum commented that the staff are lovely and extremely helpful and 'the food
is good'. She has found a buddy and hopefully this is a turnaround point for her.
Thanks again to both of you for your help. Kind regards.

Thank you for all your
help. I would not have had a hope all on my own. I hope Brian settles in well,
he should do so. Thanks again, 
Mrs Carmel T.(12 Aug 07) Your
assistance in locating a place for my mum where she lives and then negotiating
with the aged care facility was such a relief for me and very much appreciated.
Also, your advice in relation to the costs when entering low care, as well as
providing referrals to applicable financial advisors, has been invaluable.
Thank you
Mrs Rhondda J. (16 Feb 07) I
cannot help but think how fortunate we have been in the way everything has worked
out. Having Ada and Keith being placed together, in a very comfortable and caring
facility, and especially in a location so close to family members has been ideal.
Best Wishes
Mr Ken C. (27 Oct 06) Thank
you for all your assistance. Dad has settled in and now refers to his unit as
"the place where I used to live" so this is a good sign that he has
accepted it. I have passed your contact details to the retirement village manager.
As you did such a good job, I think others should know about your service
Best Regards
