What is an ACAT Assessment?

We need an assessment of the services you require before we can offer any funded services to you. This assessment is undertaken by the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). The assessment will also determine the funding you are eligible for.

Is Alwyndor accredited?

Yes. All Aged Care organisations must be accredited under the Australia Quality Aged Care Commission standards. This means there are regular audits of all of our services as well as unannounced spot visits from time to time to monitor our ongoing compliance. The audits include conversations with clients and their families. You can view Alwyndor’s most recent site audit reports on the Quality Agency website www.aacqa.gov.au/publications/reports

Consumer Experience Reports

A Consumer Experience Report for all residential aged care services was introduced in June 2017. These reports are published following audits of aged care homes and can be found together with the audit reports on the Quality Agency website. For more information go to the Australian Aged Care Quality Agency website www.aacqa.gov.au
