Understanding Residential Aged Care
TriCare Aged Care Residences also known as nursing homes provide a safe home, clinical care, fresh meals, domestic services and help with personal tasks for people who can no longer live at home without assistance.
Reasons can include a decline in health, disability, an emergency, or the carer is no longer able to look after the needs or provide the best possible care.
Our Aged Care Residences can offer the care you need to maintain your wellbeing and quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
An Aged Care home, also known as a nursing home or residential Aged Care facility, provides accommodation and health care for seniors who can no longer continue living in their own home.
The reasons a person cannot stay at home are varied:
- Unable to manage at home without help
- Increasing pressure on the carer
- An emergency
- Loneliness
- Disability
- Illness
Seniors in Aged Care homes get assistance with day-to-day tasks like meals, cleaning and laundry. Qualified nursing staff provide 24-hour health care, including showering, toileting, dressing, grooming, continence management, medication management and wound care.
Many TriCare Aged Care Residences also provide complex and specialised types of health and medical care, such as Dementia Care, Palliative Care and rehabilitation.
The Australian Government subsidises a range of Aged Care homes around Australia. As a result, seniors can access affordable care and support services when needed. The subsidies are paid directly to the Aged Care home.
The amount of funding is based on:
- your care assessment, using a tool called the Aged Care Funding Instrument or ACFI
- your personal contribution, using an Income and Assets Assessment
Subsidised Aged Care homes must meet Aged Care Quality Standards to receive government funding

In standard residential care, the Australian Government and Centrelink set a basic daily fee based on an individual assessment of a resident’s income and assets. Centrelink conducts this financial assessment prior to a senior’s entry into a residential Aged Care facility, or shortly after.
Additional fees and charges apply for extra service residences, where seniors can choose lifestyle extras and hotel-like services.
