What is Residential Aged Care Home & How Does it Benefit Individuals?
Residential Aged Care, also called a nursing home or aged care facility, provides essential support for older adults who need assistance with daily activities, personal care, and mobility. These facilities offer a safe and nurturing environment, with access to specialised housing, medical care, and individualised support tailored to each person’s needs.
A Residential Aged Care Home is a dedicated facility that provides 24/7 care, support, and accommodation for older adults who can no longer live independently at home. These homes offer a safe, comfortable, and structured environment with access to professional healthcare, personal assistance, and social engagement opportunities.
Depending on personal circumstances, residential aged care services can also be provided at home or within the community, giving people the flexibility to receive care in a setting where they feel most comfortable.
Residential Aged Care Homes enhance quality of life, provide peace of mind for families, and ensure individuals receive the care and support they deserve. If you or a loved one is considering aged care, our team at Ambition Health Group can help you explore the best options available.

Am I Eligible for Residential Care If I’m Under 65 Years Old?
