About Aged Care
At Domain Principal Group, we understand how stressful looking for aged care can be, which is why we make that process as simple and as stress free as possible. We want to ensure the transition from home to residential aged care is a positive experience.
The decision to move into residential aged care is a significant one and it is important to choose care and accommodation that meets your needs and your budget. All aged care homes in Australia are strictly regulated by the government to ensure a high standard of care across the sector but you will find that the level of care and accommodation differs depending on your needs.
This booklet will help you navigate through the process from your enquiry to placement and ensure you have what you need along the way.
