Aged Care
At Australian Unity, we work hard to make sure you receive high-quality care and allied health support, but we also strive to make your experience as comfortable and empowering as possible, whilst providing you with a sense of belonging.
We understand that moving into residential aged care can be overwhelming, which is why we’ve created a handy six-step guide to help simplify the process.
The Australian Government subsidises your move into an aged care home if you meet their eligibility criteria. To organise a free assessment with the Aged Care Assessment Team, speak to your doctor, visit myagedcare.gov.au or call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422.
Once your eligibility for aged care has been confirmed, you can organise a personal tour of the home that suit your needs. To arrange a personal tour of one of our Australian Unity homes, phone us on 1300 160 170 or contact us online.
Depending on your financial situation, you may need to contribute to your accommodation and care costs. My Aged Case offers free financial services though Services Australia’s Aged Care Specialist. This is a free service and can show you how to make informed financial decisions. To make an appointment, call 132 300. We also recommend that you seek independent financial advice.
Moving into an aged care home requires an application process to ensure the home is suitable for your care needs. Australian Unity’s dedicated Wellbeing and Transitions team will guide you and your family through every step on the way. If you have any questions, please contact us.
At Australian Unity, we’re committed to helping you achieve Real Wellbeing, so we want to learn about you, your family, care needs, and interests.
To help us get to know you, complete the Welcome documents which our team will share with you ahead of your move in date.
Once you have agreed on your admission date and completed the residential agreement, the last thing you need to do is pack your bags. Moving into your new home can be overwhelming, but our team will be ready to welcome you and assist you in settling in.
