Both low and high levels of care provide accommodation, personal care/hygiene, and management of medication, dressing, mobility, recreational activities and emotional support. Low care (hostel) has access to some nursing care. High care (nursing home) provides 24 hour nursing care. Some homes specialise in low level care, some specialise in high level care and others provide both levels of care.
The Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) is a team of health professionals, such as doctors, nurses or social workers who provide information, advice and assistance to older people who are having difficulty living at home.
Before entry into either a low level care (hostel) or high level care (nursing home) residential facility an ACAT assessment must be undertaken to approve both your eligibility and what level of care you require.
Extra service residential care can provide you with a significantly higher standard of accommodation & services, with associated higher fees. However, extra service does not mean that you will be provided with a higher level of care (such as nursing), because all residential homes have to provide the same high level of care to their residents. Extra service homes are approved by the federal government to charge an additional fee, called the "extra service" fee, along with an accommodation bond.
This type of care provides a wide range of services to older people and people with a disability who need assistance in maintaining a reasonable degree of independence in their lives. These services are similar as those provided in Low (hostel) levels of care. However, the emphasis is on "supported independence". As this type of care is not funded by the government no ACAT assessment or approval is required.
This provides short term care when you need it and if you intend to return to the community. It can be used on a planned or emergency basis to help with you or your carer's, illness, holidays or absence for any reason. You apply for respite care exactly the same way as for permanent residential care. You must be assessed as eligible by the ACAT team. This type of care may be just the break you, your carer, your family or your friends need.
