Residential Aged Care Services

Considering moving yourself, or a family member or friend, into residential aged care can be a very delicate time. It often comes about because activities of daily living have become tiring, health issues are increasing, there is a high risk of having a fall, or you or a friend or family member are currently in hospital and unable to return home. Whatever the reason, transitioning into care can be daunting.

Not only can the support and guidance of a professional through this process be life changing, but each aged care facility is a unique community influenced by its size, configuration, culture, community mix, services offered, ethos and management style and Compassionate Care Service's role and experience aims to ensure that not only are your or family member or friend's care needs met, but that the community in which you/they reside is a reflection of who you/they are.
