Steps to enter an aged care home (booklet)

This booklet explains how older people can access care in an aged care home, the process for moving into an aged care home and what to expect when you are there. You should read this booklet if you have been assessed by an aged care assessor for care in a residential aged care home.

Residential aged care is personal and nursing care in aged care homes if you are unable to live independently in your own home. This also includes residential respite for short stays in an aged care home.
