5 key questions to ask a potential aged care home

In a difficult time these five important questions can help clear the way and guide you to make more informed decisions.

Choosing an aged care home for yourself or a loved one can be overwhelming.

Sadly, for many families, it is a decision undertaken in haste, with children often tasked with making a list of acceptable homes within a matter of days.

However, planning ahead and physically visiting a potential home means you can add these questions to the care home provider as well as any others you may have:

  • What is the level of care?

  • What is the food like?

  • How do residents spend their time?

  • Can I try before I buy?

  • How much will it cost?
