Getting Started

...imagination and innovation in caring for the aged...

Welcome to Aegis Aged Care

Thank you for enquiring at an Aegis Residence.

Considering entry to permanent aged care accommodation can be a difficult time for you and your family. We hope this information will be of assistance.

Getting Started

When a decision has been made for you to consider moving to permanent residential aged care, an ‘Aged Care Client Record’ (ACCR) must be completed by an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT).

An ACCR needs to be available prior to applying for Residential Aged Care.

An ACCR can only be completed by an ACAT. You must be referred by a General Practitioner or a hospital social worker if you are currently in hospital. You cannot self refer to an ACAT.

The ACCR will indicate if you are classified as in need of Low or High care. There is also Dementia Specific Care which is care within a secure environment. Low care caters to hostel type accommodation and High care caters to nursing home level.

Ask the social worker or the ACAT for all the information necessary prior to applying at a particular residence. It is important to match your care needs with the care that can be offered by the residence. Ask the social worker for a copy of “5 Steps to Entry into Residential Aged Care”

(5 Steps Pack) and a copy of “DPS Guide to Aged Care”.

Aegis Aged Care also has a web site (www.aegiscare.com.au) providing details and a virtual tour of all our Residences located throughout the metropolitan area. You will also find direct links to aged care sites including www.agedcareonline.com.au and www.agedcareguide.com.au

Prior to applying at a Residence

1. Ensure your ACCR is current and available2. Hold, where necessary, an Enduring

Power of Attorney, Guardianship or Administration, often referred to as an EPA. Information on these is available at The Office of the Public Advocate and the State Administration Tribunal.

3. When enquiring you will be asked if you have completed a Centrelink Application for an ‘Assets Assessment’. This is not compulsory but essential for fully or partially supported residents and provides information to ensure the correct fees are charged upon admission. Application forms for an Assets Assessment are available in the 5 Steps Pack or from Centrelink. Following submission to Centrelink, these can take 6-8 weeks to be processed.

What to do Next

Aegis Residences welcome your enquiry and if you are interested in placing your name on the wait list, you will be asked for copies of:

ACCREnduring Power of Attorney, Guardianship or Administration orders (if applicable)Assets Assessment (where completed)Completed Aegis’ Application for Permanent Residential Care

Please contact the Residence(s) direct to discuss further.

4. Review the Aegis website and ‘DPS Guide to Aged Care’ for Residences in the location/s of your choice and for the level of care and accommodation available. Some Residences may charge an Accommodation Bond and offer Extra Services. It is important to only apply at a Residence that can provide the desired accommodation and meet your assessed care needs (Low, High or Dementia Specific).
