Are you looking for an aged care home that is perfect for
you or your loved one? It is hard to know where to start or
what is involved and that’s why Clayton Church Homes
(CCH) have prepared a few helpful hints.

Get Assessed

The first thing we would suggest, is to find out if you are
eligible for government support and, if so, what level of care
you’ll need.

Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) offer this assessment as a
free service. Your doctor, health centre or local hospital can
refer you for an assessment or you can contact My Aged Care direct.

You’ll find a list of ACATs on the My Aged Care site at
www.myagedcare.gov.au

As part of the assessment, a member of an ACAT will visit and
ask some questions about your health needs and lifestyle to help
establish the best care option.

After the assessment, the ACAT will write to you to let you know the outcome of your assessment. The letter will specify the services you are approved to receive, as well as the reasons why. You will also receive other information on your assessment.
