Ageing in Place

Superior Care makes the transition into aged care easy.

Permanent Residential Aged Care homes

For many older Australians, the move to permanent residential aged care comes when daily living becomes difficult to manage safely at home, whether due to declining mobility, memory changes, or increasing medical needs. We help with assessments, costs and a care plan shaped at your own pace, at Wellington Park in Brisbane or Merrimac Park on the Gold Coast.

Seamlessly transitioning from ageing in place

Transitioning from ageing in place into a residential aged care home is one of the most significant decisions a family makes.

Nurturing community for transitions

One of the most practical ways to experience aged care at Superior Care is through a short term respite stay.

    Such a fabulous aged care residence. It’s peace of mind to know that our precious father is so well cared for. A home away from home.

FAQ

You ask,
we answer.

What does ageing in place mean in aged care?

Ageing in place refers to the ability to remain in a familiar, supportive environment as care needs gradually increase, transitioning from independent or home based living into residential aged care without a sudden or disruptive move. Superior Care Group supports this process across our Brisbane and Gold Coast residences.

When is the right time to transition from ageing in place to residential care?

The right time varies for each person, but common triggers include increasing difficulty with daily tasks, a need for 24 hour nursing support, safety concerns at home, or a diagnosis of dementia or another progressive condition. Our team can help assess your situation and discuss the options available.

Can I try an aged care residence before committing to permanent care?

Yes. Both Wellington Park in Brisbane and Merrimac Park on the Gold Coast offer short term respite care, allowing you or your loved one to experience the residence, care team, activities, and community before making a longer term decision.

Does Superior Care help with the My Aged Care assessment process?

Yes. Our team can guide you through the My Aged Care process, including understanding the ACAT assessment, eligibility requirements, and the steps involved in transitioning to residential aged care.

Is Superior Care a family owned aged care provider?

Yes. Superior Care Group is an Australian family owned aged care provider, operating since 1979. We operate Wellington Park Private Care in Brisbane and Merrimac Park Private Care on the Gold Coast, with over 350 staff dedicated to resident wellbeing.
