Better aged care home decisions start with better information.
For 20 years, we've helped Australians make smart decisions about their aged care finances.
Now, we're also here to assist you in finding the perfect aged care provider.
Start with an easy to use map, consider Government rating information, and assess affordability without conflict or bias to ensure you make the best decision.
Step 1: Start with a map to find an aged care home
Whether you're seeking a facility near mum because dad requires care, or considering relocating a loved one closer to children or friends who will visit frequently, a comprehensive and user-friendly map is crucial in the aged care search process.
Surprisingly, such a large-scale map hasn't been available—until now.
We've taken the initiative for you. Our map doesn't merely pinpoint care options; it integrates Government Ratings through an intuitive color-coding system. Moreover, we've embedded links for seamless navigation to individual listings on MyAgedCare and features to swiftly determine the distance from a provider to your residence.
Step 2: Take a closer look at what is around
Every aged care provider in Australia is part of a broader planning zone defined by the government.
We utilise these regional classifications to compile a comprehensive list of providers, enabling you to delve deeper into the choices within your vicinity.
While proximity is crucial, venturing a bit further might lead you to a provider that aligns more closely with your specific requirements.
Additionally, being aware of the various price points in your region can be advantageous.
Look in the provider description (available after clicking on a location) to find out the area the aged care home is located. Once you have this area, you can use our aged care search kit to find out more about aged care homes in the area.
Step 3: Use Government Rating information to rank your choices
The Government Aged Care Star Ratings system offers an unparalleled metric for assessing the quality of aged care homes. It stands as the premier source of information for Australians in their search for quality aged care.
We have organised this information for aged care homes in your area to allow you to easily compare and contact providers to arrange a visit.
With this information you will gain an overall view of the quality of providers in your area, and gain a better understanding of what is available.
You also have the opportunity to track provider ratings changes over the most recent quarter - allowing an important insight into local changes.
We will continue to update our tools to help Australians track and understand aged care home quality in their area.
Step 4: Get non-conflicted advice on affordability
Navigating the intricate landscape of financial decisions during emotionally charged moments is challenging. You need expert guidance, especially when the stakes are high.
Sifting through countless tools, regulations, and procedures can be overwhelming. This not only consumes precious time but also diverts attention from what truly matters – caring for your loved one.
Decisions become even more daunting when they involve others' finances or when multiple stakeholders are in the picture. Clarity, conviction, and confidence are paramount.
With nearly two decades of expertise, and having guided hundreds of Australians through the financial intricacies of transitioning to aged care, we're your trusted partner. Let us steer you through, ensuring you make informed aged care decisions with absolute confidence.
