Frequently asked questions
Is there a waiting list?
Can we personalise the indvidual room?
We encourage families to bring favoured furniture items so that the room is familiar and similar to their room at home. For more tips on making the transition smoother, check out our article on transitioning to aged care.
How to prepare your move to Hope Aged Care?
To prepare for your move to Hope Aged Care, we’ll start with the resident agreement, which covers all the important details. Having your documents ready will help make the process smooth. We also personalise care to suit each resident’s needs, making sure their new home feels comfortable. For more tips, visit our article on new beginnings in aged care.
How do you accommodate the specific dietary needs?
In conjunction with the medical requirements the dietary needs are determined and these are then reviewed by our qualified dietitian.
Is there a registered nurse on-site 24/7?
Yes. To learn more about our clinical care coordinators and service managers, please visit our Clinical Care page.
What happens in case of an emergency or medical crisis?
Our homes are staffed 24 hours by registered trained nurses. In an emergency or medical crisis, the medical condition is assessed and a decision is then made as to the appropriate care. The resident is stabilised and if emergency hospital care is required the appropriate emergency services are contacted and the resident transferred to the most appropriate emergency facility.
Can residents continue to see their own doctors?
Have the Sunshine facilities recently been upgraded?
Yes, we completed the Sunshine renovations in August 2024. The upgrades include the lobby and reception area, 14 resident rooms, courtyards and garden areas, as well as the management rooms.
You can check the photos and read about the renovation here.
