The 15 questions families ask most before choosing a home. We have filled in 2 from what we hold; the rest only the home can answer.
Daily life
-
What does a typical day look like here? Can we see this month's activity calendar, and do most residents join in?
Families most want to know how their parent will spend the day, and whether activities really happen. Recommended by Dementia Australia, 8 questions to ask
-
Can we see this week's menu and come for a meal? How are soft diets, diabetes and cultural or religious diets handled?
Food is the most common daily complaint; a menu and a meal tell you more than a brochure. Recommended by CHOICE, choosing aged care
-
Do any carers on the floor speak her language?
People with dementia often return to their first language. Recommended by CHOICE, choosing aged care
Care and staff
-
How many carers and registered nurses are on each shift, day, night and weekend? Is a registered nurse on site at all times?
Staffing numbers are not published home by home. Recommended by CHOICE, choosing aged care
-
How many staff are permanent, and how often are agency staff used? Will the same carers look after her?
Families say continuity of carers matters more than the building. No public source has these figures. Recommended by CHOICE, choosing aged care
-
Who is our main contact, and how quickly will you tell us after a fall, an illness or a change in her care?
Agree this before she moves in. Recommended by Dementia Australia, 8 questions to ask
-
Do you care for people with advanced dementia, including changed behaviour? Is there a secure area, and can we see it?
Some homes cannot keep a resident whose dementia advances. Recommended by Dementia Australia, 8 questions to ask
-
Does a GP visit regularly? Can she keep her own GP, and who covers nights and weekends?
Doctors' visits vary widely between homes. Recommended by CHOICE, choosing aged care
Money
-
What does the room we want cost, as a lump sum or a daily payment?
Each room has one price you can pay either way. Recommended by OPAN, your rights checklist
-
What will she pay each day in total, with the basic daily fee and the means-tested fees?
The room price is only part of the bill. Recommended by OPAN, your rights checklist
-
Do you charge a higher everyday living fee or for extras such as Wi-Fi, outings or hairdressing? What does it include, and can she say no?
The higher everyday living fee is optional, can only be agreed after moving in, and can be cancelled. Recommended by OPAN, your rights checklist
Moving in
-
Is a room free now? How long is the wait, and can she stay on your list if she takes a place elsewhere first?
No public list shows vacancies as they change. Recommended by Dementia Australia, 8 questions to ask
Visiting
-
What are the visiting hours? Can we come early or stay late, bring children or a pet, and what happens to visits during an outbreak?
Visiting is how families keep in touch with daily care; rules changed sharply during COVID-19. Recommended by OPAN, your rights checklist
-
How will we get there? Is there public transport nearby, and is visitor parking free?
What we found Train station (Hove Railway Station) 8 minutes' walk. About 46 minutes from Adelaide Town Hall by public transport on a weekday morning, 53 on a Sunday. Adelaide Metro, Government of South Australia timetable (GTFS), 10 Nov 2026
