To live in a low care facility, a person must consult with and be assessed by a Low Care Assessment to establish the level of care required.

Essentially there are five steps to moving into Low Care:

• Consultation with family doctor
• Low Care assessment
• Find a Residential Low Care Facility that suits your needs and requirements
• Complete entry pack
• Entry into Residential Low Care Facility

The following things should be considered:

• Type of accommodation, high care or low care
• Recommendation of friends or family
• The type of environment - do I want something cosy or open and airy?
• Additional care - do I require extra services such as hotel type services or lifestyle extras, with increased meal choices, extra outings and a more luxurious living environment?
• Access to and from the facility
• Proximity to my community, family and friends
• Ageing-in-Place concept - movement of residents from low care to high care within their familiar environment.

Our Psychiatric care facilities provide accommodation both permanent and short-term accomadation. 

You can apply to as many low care facilities as you wish. When a place becomes available, the low care facility will contact you (or the contact person that you have nominated). If you wish to accept the place, you should then meet with the facility's manager to discuss your Resident Agreement.
