A Guide to Aged Care
What is the process?
To live in a residential aged care facility, a person must consult with and be assessed by an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) to establish the level of care required. For more information you can call ACAT directly on 1800 200 422.
What care do you provide?
Cranbrook Care delivers 24 hour nursing and personal care which is completely focused on our residents and allows them to age in place. Their health, social and support needs are comprehensively identified and assessed on an ongoing basis in consultation with family members and general practitioners.
What are the financial considerations?
Understanding costs can be daunting but it is important to understand. The best thing to do is have a chat with your accountant or financial adviser. You can also contact our Client Relations Manager for more specific information. It is important to note that you can receive advice from financial advisers who specialise in the aged care sector. Our Client Relations Manager has more information on how to contact them.
