Aged and hospital care

Aged And Hospital Care

Most of us want to remain independent throughout retirement and to stay in control of where and how we live. But our ability to do so may depend upon our health and physical wellbeing. As we age, some things may become harder to do on our own.

If our ability to live independently starts to decline and we need help with daily living activities such as cooking, What is Aged Care? cleaning and personal care, this where ‘aged care’ comes into play.

Aged care is the term for daily living and nursing care services provided to older Australians who either need some help at home or can no longer live independently.

Services are generally divided into two categories:

At-home services Residential care services

Aged care facilities are run by charitable organisations, church groups, state or local government, private businesses and other community-based groups.

These facilities are heavily regulated by government and regardless of who operates the facility, they must all provide full care including:

On-call staff for assistance & Meals

Basic accommodation-related services such as furnishings

Cleaning services and general laundry & Bedding

Maintenance of buildings and grounds & Nursing care.

Home Care Program is for older people who have been in hospital, but need more help to recover and time to make a decision about the best place for them to live in the longer term.

Home care may be provided either in your own home or in a 'live-in' setting. This setting can be part of an existing aged care home or health facility such as a separate wing of a hospital. You can only access home care directly from hospital.

Residential care includes the following types of long-term care provided in a rest home or hospital:

Rest home care

Continuing care (hospital)

Dementia care

Specialised hospital care (psychogeriatric care)
