There are 3 easy steps to apply for care with Dalrymple Villa:

Step 1

Organise an ACAT Assessment

An Aged Care Assessment is required when applying to enter
an  aged care facility. This gives you and the aged care
provider an understanding of the type of care you are eligible
to receive.

The Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) can be contacted
directly or through your doctor, hospital and social worker.
Townsville ACAT can be contacted on (07) 4433 8300.

Step 2

Organise an Income and Assets Assessment

A Combined Income and Assets Assessment is conducted by
the Department of Human Services Australia (Centrelink) or
Department of Veterans’ Affairs. This assessment will
determine the cost of your care and accommodation fees.

You can also use the My Aged Care Residential Care Fee
Estimator tool to help calculate expected fees and charges.
