Your Guide

If you are considering moving into an Embracia home, to ensure you are aged care eligible you will require an Aged Care Assessment.

A good starting point is to either contact your local GP or My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 to discuss your current needs and circumstances so that they can refer you for an assessment.

A local Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) that is usually a nurse, social worker or another health care professional will make a time to come to your home and talk to you about your current situation and assess you for government funded aged care services. The outcome of this assessment can take anywhere from 48 hours to 12 weeks depending on how urgent your situation is deemed.

If you are assessed as eligible for entry into an aged care home, you will receive an approval letter and support plan from your ACAT that sets out the care you are approved to receive.
