Find out if you’re eligible

Where to start? The first step is to find out if you’re eligible for aged care services. All Arcare communities are government-funded, so potential residents must be assessed to receive care. The assessment will determine your care needs and what services we can claim through government funding.

Book a tour

We understand choosing an aged care community can be overwhelming. That’s why we recommend visiting a residence to get a feel for the culture. Look for a positive, homely environment with friendly staff, happy residents, and an active social calendar. Book a private tour at one of our residences, where our friendly staff can answer all your questions.
