Walgett Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT)

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. approve eligibility 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. 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.

Hello
My mum suffered a stroke in July and is currently in Woy Woy rehab centre. They’re hoping she’ll be home in 5/6 weeks. My dad is looking for someone to come in the mornings and evenings to help with mum. We are looking at between 4-6 hours per day. We’ll know more in 5/6 weeks as to the role itself but it’s standby assistance.
