Aged care is an essential healthcare service, supporting older, often vulnerable people. Aged care services can be offered in a home, with people accessing different services and packages that best meet their needs or in residential aged care, like an Estia Health home, which is usually when people can no longer care safely live at home and require around-the-care and support for all areas of their wellbeing.
The majority of aged care services in Australia are subsidised by the government to ensure all people have access to aged care services when they need them.
