Aged care placement on the Central Coast
We help families on the Central Coast by phone and video from Melbourne, so we do not come on tours here: we brief you before each visit and debrief after it.
Our records cover 17 homes on the Central Coast, run by 16 operators, from Bateau Bay to Wyee.
Who can help find an aged care home on the Central Coast?
My Aged Care (Australian Government, free, 1800 200 422) arranges the assessment and lists every home on the Central Coast, including BaptistCare Bethshan Gardens Centre and Berkeley Vale, the highest rated of the 17 in our records. Our full placement outside Melbourne ($1,450) does the ringing around for you by phone and video.
How remote placement works
- Everything in the Melbourne placement, by phone and video
- A briefing before each tour and a debrief after it (you or a relative attend in person)
- Video tours arranged where homes offer them
Not included: in-person tours; financial advice; legal advice.
The Central Coast keeps the same time as Melbourne all year, daylight saving included, so our hours (Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm) are your hours too.
