What this is based on
An AI model wrote these sentences from facts in the government's service list. When the model wrote them, a program checked that each sentence used only those facts, with no prices and no opinions. Each time this page is shown, every number in them, and whether they say the operator publishes room prices, is checked again against this page, and a sentence that no longer matches is left out.
- Sentence 1 uses: home name, suburb, remoteness, council area, state
- Sentence 2 uses: places, operator, type of organisation (ABN register)
- Sentence 3 uses: whether room prices are published

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

Agree this before she moves in. 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

The room price is only part of the bill. Recommended by OPAN, your rights checklist
-

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?

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?
