When it comes to finding the right aged care for you or your loved one, the first step is understanding your needs. At Bankstown City Aged Care, we make the process simple by helping you navigate the options that are best suited to you or your loved one’s individual requirements.
Step 1: Assess Your Needs
The first thing to do is assess the level of care you or your loved one requires. Aged care services can range from help with daily activities such as dressing, bathing and mobility to more specialised care for conditions like dementia.
Before accessing any government subsidised aged care services, you will need to register with My Aged Care. My Aged Care is the Australian Government’s starting point to help older Australians access aged care services. Through My Aged Care, you can arrange an assessment to determine the level of care you or your loved one needs and receive a referral for the most suitable services.
Step 2: Understand Your Options
Once you know what’s needed, it’s time to explore the care options available. Bankstown City Aged Care offers a variety of services tailored to meet individual needs:
- Residential Aged Care: We provide 24-hour care across two locations – Gillawarna Village in Georges Hall and Yallambee Village in Revesby. Both facilities offer nursing support, help with daily activities, nutritious meals and specialised programs, all within a safe and welcoming environment
- Independent Living: Donington Gardens, our boutique retirement village, offers independent living within a friendly and supportive community – ideal for those wanting to maintain their independence while having access to additional assistance when needed
- In-Home Support Services: Stay comfortable at home with our flexible in-home care. We offer personal care, help with household tasks, transport and more – all delivered by our caring and qualified team
Step 3: Understand the Costs
The cost of aged care is an important consideration. At Bankstown City Aged Care, we are committed to providing clear and transparent information regarding costs. Our team can assist with the paperwork and help you understand what government support you or your loved one might be eligible for.
