Far West Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) - GWAHS

Aged Care Assessment Teams (ACAT) are teams of health professionals, such as doctors, nurses or social workers, who provide information, advice and assistance to older people who are having difficulty living at home. An ACAT can: 1. assess and approve elegibility for entry into residential aged care, in either low level care (hostel type) or high level care (nursing home type) 2. provide information about residential aged care and community care services in your local area 3. help you arrange special short-term care (respite care) so you or your carer can take a break, and 4. assess and approve eligibility for a package of community care (Community Aged Care Packages) to help you continue living at home, or refer you to other services that will help you continue living at home. There are ACAT delegates based in Balranald, Bourke, Brewarrina, Broken Hill, Dareton, Lightning Ridge and Walgett that cover the Far West area of NSW.

Dear your care,
Can I please ask how I can access an application for accommodation in your over 55 units please. I have recently moved back to WA from working in NT. I used to stay at my mum's place but my nephew has moved in so I have no housing. I am 61 not currently working may be able to get some p/t work. Have a little poodle,very well behaved and fully toilet trained. I am hoping you may have something available. Please call me on 0474175833 or email me back if you require any other info.
Thankyou

I recently had a 5 day holiday for a family get together, and I had a friend from Sydney stay in my unit to look after my cat as I could not take here with us. Sadly, one of our neighbor's put a note on her car window, that she was not allowed to park the car there, and that she had been reported to Department of Housing. the spot she parked in is a spare spot, and not parking has been officially allocated to tenants. I spoke to dept of housing about this, and was told it was quite ok for me to have a visitor stay, and for them to use that car space and that they would notify all the tenants of this. But to date nothing has happened, and I have another trip away coming up soon, and really don't want this to happen again. Any advice would be appreciated.
