Where do I start?
When searching for nursing homes in Queensland, the first question that will be asked is if your loved one has ‘been assessed’. ‘Assessed? What does that mean?’ you may ask. If the nursing home is Government funded, then anyone looking to move into the home will need an Aged Care Assessment Service (ACAS/ACAT) to determine their level of care. However, there are also non-government funded residential aged care homes which usually do not require an assessment.

Where do I start?
Before you start looking for nursing homes in Western Australia you will need to have the person who is looking to move into aged care assessed. An assessment refers to the Aged Care Assessment Service (ACAS/ACAT) and are funded by the Government, so you won’t have to pay anything. The assessment is designed to decide how much care the elderly person will need, whether they require continuous nursing care or are able to be more independent.
However, there are also non-government funded residential aged care homes which usually do not require an assessment.
The first thing you can do is talk to your doctor who can then refer you to an ACAT/ACAS assessment. You can also use the ACAT/ACAS Service Provider from the Federal Government Department of Health and Ageing website.

What is a high level care/nursing home?
When someone can no longer care for themselves independently due to age, they may have to enter a high care or low level care home. Whether it is due to physical, emotional or financial reasons, additional help is needed. These homes have formerly been known as hostels (low level care) or nursing homes (high level care) but are often referred to as low level care (hostels) or high level care (nursing homes). Often the decision to move into a nursing home is made once other people (often family members) can no longer provide for an elderly person. You can read more about vacancies in residential aged care homes and how long you can be expected to wait before gaining a place in a home. Family members need to know that finding a suitable home can be a 2-3 month process, sometimes even longer.
