I know that when I walk out of Merrimac Park after visiting mum, I know that she’s receiving the best possible care available…

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.

You ask,
we answer.
What is a supported resident in aged care?
A supported resident is someone whose aged care fees are based on their pension income rather than a full Refundable Accommodation Deposit. The government subsidises their accommodation costs at approved providers like Superior Care.
Am I eligible for supported aged care?
Eligibility is determined through government means testing of your income and assets via Services Australia. Pensioners with low assets are generally eligible. Our team can help you understand where you stand.
Do supported residents receive the same care as full fee residents?
Yes, without exception. Supported residents at Wellington Park and Merrimac Park receive the same standard of nursing care, meals, lifestyle activities, and accommodation as every other resident.
Are supported places always available?
Supported places are subject to availability at each residence and government means testing. We recommend enquiring early so our team can guide you through the options.
How do I enquire about supported aged care at Superior Care?
Request a tour or contact our team directly. We will walk you through the eligibility process, the paperwork, and availability at our Brisbane and Gold Coast residences.
