Aged Care Eligibility

Find out if your loved one qualifies.

Do I need an aged care assessment?

Usually, yes. To access subsidised aged care at Superior Care, every prospective resident needs an eligibility assessment through My Aged Care. The assessment confirms the level of care needed and lets us claim government funding, which reduces your fees. Our team at Wellington Park and Merrimac Park can explain each step of the process.

Why the assessment matters

The assessment is required for all government funded aged care. It confirms the level of care needed and lets Superior Care claim government funding, which reduces your fees.

You can choose not to disclose your finances, but you will then pay 100% of your care costs, including the subsidy the Commonwealth Government would normally cover.

What do I look for when selecting an Aged Care residence?

To determine if an aged care residence is the right fit, it's recommended to speak with team members and current residents to get a sense of the community culture and atmosphere. Additionally, it's important to pay attention to cleanliness throughout the entire facility, from the moment you enter the door to visiting each individual room.
