Advice about Residential Care

Visiting a home can help you understand the environment, rooms, shared spaces, lifestyle activities and whether the home feels right for you or your family member. Entry requirements may change depending on current health or government advice. Virtual tours are also available for some homes on the residential care locations page.

The Australian Government may contribute to care costs, and residents may also need to contribute depending on their means assessment. Costs may include care fees, accommodation costs and optional additional services. Helping Hand publishes fees on individual residential care home pages.
