Find out if you're eligible
You can access this service if:
- you're an older person who can no longer live independently at home
- you have dementia or other special care needs that aren't being met through other specialist services
- you've been approved by the aged-care assessment team for residential care.
Where to start
Before you can apply for a place, you'll need approval from our aged-care assessment team. They'll look at your current needs and work out if you're eligible for residential care.
You can talk to your GP or community health nurse about getting a referral for a free assessment.
Once you've been approved, you'll need to fill in an application form and go on a waiting list.
You're welcome to make an appointment so we can show you through our centre.
