Making the decision to move yourself or a loved one into aged care nursing home can be very emotional and stressful. You need to do a lot of research and you can sometimes be overwhelmed by the different options available and even confused on how to get started.
At Columbia Aged Care we aim to make this transition as easy as possible by providing comprehensive information that gives you as much detail about the decision and the move into your new home.
The first to understand is there are five steps that are undertaken to move in to an aged care facility:
1. Assessing eligibility
2. Finding an aged care facility
3. Fees and charges
4. Applying to an aged care facility
5. Living in an aged care facility.
We go into detail about the steps in the Step by Step Admission Guide – click here to read them.
