Aged care placement in Launceston
We help families in Launceston 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 four homes in Launceston, run by two operators, from Norwood to Newstead.
Who can help find an aged care home in Launceston?
My Aged Care (Australian Government, free, 1800 200 422) arranges the assessment and lists every home in Launceston. 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.
Launceston keeps the same time as Melbourne all year, daylight saving included, so our hours (Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm) are your hours too.
