NCCCA provides both Residential Aged Care and Independent Living Units
Residential Aged Care
NCCCA has three Residential Aged Care (RAC) facilities all three of which provide care and accommodation services as per the Aged Care Act 1997.
How can you be sure about a provider and its buildings?
All residential care services are required to maintain standards. To meet these standards, services must:
• Provide a high quality of personal care to every resident.
• Have a safe building.
• Be committed to protecting their resident's rights.
Service providers must also ensure that they have appropriately qualified staff with the right mix of skills to meet residents needs. The standards cover all aspects of residents needs from health and personal care and safety to a range of lifestyle matters including independence, privacy and dignity. Hostels and nursing homes that meet these standards are accredited.
What is certification?
Residential Aged Care services which are able to provide suitable accommodation and care are granted certification by the Department of Health and Ageing.
Under the Aged Care Act 1997, only certified services are able to charge accommodation bonds or accommodation charges, or also to receive accommodation supplements for residents who are unable to make accommodation payments. A decision to certify a service will consider:
(a) the standard of the buildings and equipment being used to provide residential care;
(b) the standard of residential care being provided; and
(c) the applicant’s record, if any, as a provider of aged care - including compliance with carer responsibilities and adherence to its obligations when it has received payments from the Commonwealth.
The three RAC Facilities are:
Abernethy Nursing Home
Jacaranda Grove Hostel
Mountain View Lodge
All three comply fully with these requirements.
