What is residential aged care?
Respite care is a temporary care service designed to provide relief for primary caregivers by taking over their caregiving responsibilities for a short period. At Palm Lake Care, respite care ensures that your loved one is looked after with the same level of care, comfort, and attention as our long-term residents. Whether for a few weeks, or longer, respite care provides a safe and supportive environment in our aged care communities, allowing caregivers to rest and recharge.
Residential aged care at Palm Lake Care includes comprehensive services tailored to each resident's needs. This can involve assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and meals, as well as 24/7 nursing care, access to medical and allied health professionals, social support, and specialised services. Our goal is to ensure that residents feel safe, comfortable, and engaged in a supportive community.

In Australia, residential aged care is available for seniors who require extra support with daily living. An Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) evaluation determines eligibility for government-subsidised aged care services. Costs for residential care are regulated and means-tested based on individual income and assets. Additional service fees may apply depending on the chosen care provider.
The terms "nursing home" and "residential aged care" are often used interchangeably. Both refer to facilities that provide accommodation and care services for seniors who are no longer able to live independently, offering a range of support from daily living assistance to 24-hour nursing care.
Retirement living is designed for seniors who are largely independent and looking for a community-focused lifestyle with access to amenities and social activities. In contrast, residential aged care at Palm Lake Care provides higher levels of support and care for seniors who need assistance with daily tasks and medical needs.
Moving into residential aged care is a personal decision. It may be time to consider this option if daily tasks become challenging, there are complex medical conditions to manage, or there is a need for around-the-clock care and supervision. If family caregivers are struggling to provide the necessary level of support, Palm Lake Care can help determine if residential aged care is the right choice.
Consider moving to residential aged care when your needs surpass the support available through in-home care services. Examples include requiring constant supervision, having safety concerns at home, experiencing social isolation, or when the physical and emotional demands on family caregivers become too great. Palm Lake Care offers comprehensive support for such situations.
An ACAT (Aged Care Assessment Team) assessment is a comprehensive evaluation conducted by healthcare professionals to determine eligibility for government-subsidised aged care services. It assesses various aspects of an individual's needs, including health status, ability to perform daily tasks, cognitive function, and social support. The assessment results in a Support Plan, which helps identify suitable aged care services like those provided by Palm Lake Care.
