Common question
| Question: | We live in the country - is residential care available locally or will grandma have to go away from her family and friends? |
| Answer: | There are aged care homes in a large number of smaller country centres. In addition, flexible care options allow those in rural and regional areas to receive the kind of care they need in the environment that suits them best. Multipurpose services (more information) are designed specifically for rural and regional areas, and bring together a range of health and aged care services. These may include hospitals, community services, family support and aged care. The types of services offered in your area depend on the needs of local communities. For information about the services in or close to your area, call 1800 200 422 or search the website. Read More: About rural and regional areas.
