How to apply for residential aged care with MYVISTA.
What happens next?
- Your ACAT will be reviewed by our Clinical team to determine if we can meet your specific care needs. We'll get back in touch with you as soon as possible to let you know.
- We'll invite you to come and have a tour of the Aged Care facility you're interested in moving in to. On the tour we'll show you an example of our rooms and the common dining and social areas. We'll also talk to you about what kind of meals we serve and the social activities we provide. This is a good opportunity to ask us questions about life at MYVISTA.
- At the end of the tour you will be given an information and application pack. If you have relevant information regarding your asset and income position, we can also discuss fees and charges at the tour. Alternatively, you can provide us with financial information later and we will provide a quotation.
The price of the accommodation is based on its quality, condition, location and amenities.
We cater for people with all levels of income and assess them on an individual basis.
Prices and charges are based on the individual resident's financial circumstances, Centrelink Income and Assets information provided, and the Federal Government prescribed guidelines.
