Who can help find an aged care home in Newcastle?
My Aged Care (Australian Government, free, 1800 200 422) arranges the assessment and lists every home in Newcastle, including Green Hills Residential Care Service and Maroba Nursing Home, the highest rated of the 19 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.
Newcastle keeps the same time as Melbourne all year, daylight saving included, so our hours (Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm) are your hours too.
