The days of sterile rooms are long gone. You can furnish your room with items from home and organise your own comforts such as a personal phone line, internet and entertainment like television and Foxtel.  \n■ Proper nutrition with three daily meals and usually morning and afternoon tea. Good nutrition and hydration alone can provide a huge boost to health and wellbeing. Many homes even have a café onsite for residents to catch up and for family visits.  \n■ Community activities like bingo, men’s group, exercise and art classes, social outings and services for special occasions like Christmas and ANZAC day.  \n■ 24-hour care and dispensing of medicine, with nursing staff onsite at all times, meaning that falls and illness do not remain untreated.  \n■ Freedom to come and go, resident health permitting. You are not trapped. Health and mobility permitting, you can still go shopping, take holidays and visit family.  \n■ Personal grooming and hygiene.  \n■ Safety for residents with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and related ailments. Secure facilities for these residents can protect residents from the risks associated with ‘wandering’ while still providing social and diversional activities.  \n[www.sagecareadvice.com.au |](www.sagecareadvice.com.au | Page)[ Page](www.sagecareadvice.com.au | Page) 2  \nA ST EP BY ST EP GU ID E T O ARRAN GI N G A GE D CA RE  \nIt is important to understand that aged care costs do not include medical expenses. If you have private health insurance, do not rush to cancel it on entering aged care. You will still need to fund the costs of doctors, specialists and medical treatment. Pharmaceutical needs will also be at your expense. You should check that your choice of home is accredited by the Australian Government. This will mean that the home meets national standards, is audited annually and that you will receive Government assistance in funding your care costs. It also provides a Government guarantee for any lump sum accommodation payments you make.  \nThis guide refers to accredited aged care homes only.  \nDO Y O U O R A L O VE D O NE NE E DA GE D CARE ?  \nIf you are reading this e-book, chances are that you are contemplating aged care for a loved one.
