10 Questions to Ask about residential aged care
10 Questions to Ask is a series of leaflets written by nurses, doctors and experts with experience in aged care.
Each leaflet focuses on an individual aspect of care to increase your knowledge and make the transition into residential aged care smoother.
These leaflets are useful when you are:
- searching for a high quality residential aged care home
- reviewing the quality of your current residential aged care home
- deciding between two residential aged care homes that appear similar.
The leaflets are available in a range of languages, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages, to help you ask the right questions about residential aged care.
Visit 10 Questions to Ask for more information and to download the leaflets in your language.
You can also compare the quality of aged care homes and view their specialisations and Star Ratings, using the ‘Find a provider’ tool on the My Aged Care website.
The 10 Questions to Ask leaflets were created by the NSW Aged Care Roundtable with support from the Multicultural Communities Council of Illawarra, Partners in Culturally Appropriate Care NSW and ACT, and a number of other contributors.
Let's change aged care, together
