Important Information Regarding COVID-19.
We understand that given the current COVID-19 crisis, the decision to put an elderly relative into Aged Care is harder than ever. The best information we have at the moment is that aged care facilities are taking rigorous steps to help ensure the safety of their residents.
We are liaising constantly with aged care facilities to ensure that the facilities we recommend provide the safety that South Australians expect for their loved ones.
Our staff are available to provide impartial advice and take into account individual circumstances.
We have attached a document outlining some of the steps being taken by South Australian aged care homes to ensure the safety of your loved ones.
