Brightwater understands that looking for care services for yourself or a loved one is not always easy. The system is complex and can cause stress particularly during what can be a very emotional time. Brightwater is here to help.
Firstly the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing have published a booklet titled ‘5 Steps to Entry into Residential Aged Care’.
The booklet provides an easy guide to aged care, outlining what residential aged care is, who is eligible for care and how to go about arranging it.
This guide is a great resource for people seeking residential aged care and anyone that may be helping them such as family, friends and carers.
