Register your interest – residential care

Assessment

If you’re thinking about moving in to residential care, the first step is to have your needs assessed. A member of an ACAT (Aged Care Assessment Team) will meet with you to discuss your current needs and to help you work out what options are available to you.

Undergoing an assessment does not mean you are obliged to enter residential care – it is merely the first step in identifying what your needs are and how they might be met. We encourage a family member or friend to be present during the assessment – it’s always good to have someone close to you to talk things through.

Your doctor can help you arrange an assessment – or you can arrange one yourself by contacting an Aged Care Assessment Team in your area – call 1300 22 44 77 for more details.

After the Assessment

Following the assessment, you will receive a letter to let you know if you are eligible for Australian Government subsidised aged care services. The letter will advise what sort of services you’re eligible for, and why.

Once your ACAT Assessment is completed, please contact ACH Group’s Residential Welcome Team on (08) 8159 3530 or via email [email protected] to discuss what option is right for you and to receive an information pack.  Alternatively, you can download and complete an application pack, or use the form below to request an application pack be sent to you.  Once your application is completed, we will register your interest for a place at the home of your choice.  We will then contact you when a vacancy becomes available, but please advise us if your situation changes.

🎤 🎶A touch of Fringe magic for ACH Group retirement living residents and Home Care customers on Monday, with a lively afternoon at Plant 4 Bowden for Sister Elizabeth, performed by the formidable Libby O'Donovan OAM. 🎭 🤩

Residents from retirement living communities were joined by members of the Sing for Joy Choir and volunteers - a gathering that made the afternoon feel as much about community as it was about entertainment. 🤝

In Sister Elizabeth, Libby draws on her own childhood encounters with nuns to explore the many portrayals of women in habits across film, music and popular culture. The show threads together stories and songs - from The Sound of Music to Sister Act, and even Adelaide’s own Sister Janet Mead - delivered with Libby’s signature storytelling and powerful voice. 🎶

The response from the audience said it all. 👇
💬 “Fantastic to see a Fringe show as part of the social program for residents.”
💬 “Libby is my favourite performer, together with Michael they’ve been to many retirement living events that I’ve enjoyed.”
💬 “What a fascinating story! Who knew!”

After the final notes, many stayed on to meet Libby, delighted by the chance to have a photo together and pick up a keepsake to remember the afternoon. 📸

An afternoon of music, curiosity and conversation - and another reminder of the joy of experiencing the arts together. ✨
