Caring for a loved one is often a labour of love. At some point however, a loved one’s care needs might change, or their care needs might become unsustainable for the carer. When this difficult time comes, it may be necessary to explore permanent care.

‘Permanent Care’ is the term used to describe placing a loved one into a residential care facility on a permanent basis. When a person enters permanent care, they are cared for by staff at the facility who tend to their daily care needs, such as grooming (personal care), meal preparation, feeding assistance (if required), medication administration (as required) and social support and activities.

If you are uncertain that permanent care is the right option for your loved one, please chat with us to discuss alternatives. Sometimes discussing your caring role and any difficulties that you may be experiencing can help to identify opportunities to improve and extend the care of your loved one at home.

If you decide that permanent care is the best option for your loved one, Your Aged Care Companion will guide and support you through the placement process to ensure that the transition to permanent care is as straightforward and stress-free for you and your loved one as possible. As part of our personalised service we research, shortlist and recommend suitable facilities according to specific care needs (for example, dementia-specific care), location, budget, interests, and any other criteria you may have, for example cultural/language requirements. Your Aged Care Companion will also negotiate facility fees on your behalf, arrange facility tours, and help you complete and submit all essential paperwork.
