关于澳洲的老人院

一声叹息

华人家庭 送老一辈去养老院的都要被人戳脊椎骨

这里的老人院不错的，我去过

18092007

我一个朋友给他父母找的养老院不错，24小时医疗监护，每天子女都过去看送点好吃的。不过他们住的养老院房间买下来了好像是不到20万澳币，之后还可以再卖。挺好的，因为年岁大了有病如果子女白天不再身边很危险。

我爸妈现在还算年轻超不愿和我们一起住说还得伺候我们，这两天他们去了central coast打高尔夫，看见magenta shores那边的mirvac盖的house群，非要买一个带我妈过去住，可以天天打球。还有网球桑拿健身房。这算不算养老呀，他们自己开车学了510个小时英语马马虎虎，能说点。

华人父母应该很不喜欢也很不习惯住养老院吧。。。

养老院是大势所趋,不管国内还是澳洲
倒是要努力积点钱,以后住好一点的养老院是正解

have some knowledge about Australian aged care industry and hope the information below would help.

Background: Australia has a comprehensive health care system including agde care. Government  has subsidy scheme to support aged care facility.

Fee:  Daily care fee increases every half an year. At the moment basic daily care fee is: $40.25 per day. Therefore, your pension can cover all the basic daily care fee.
However, this is only applied for someone whose assets are below $ 39,000.
For example: If you own a house, you can choose either pay bond or pay extra daily care fee.
Bond is refundable after you die. The government ensured that. The government will take very small amount of money from the bond for retention.

If you want to keep the house, you choose to pay extra daily care fee. The maximum extra fee at the moment is $36.74.
Centrelink is the organization to determine how much you have to pay for your aged care. Also you need to report to centrelink after you move into aged care to have your asset evaluated. (There has some complex issues about asset sevalution.For example:  If the house is owned by more than one people. )

Standard:  Every aged care facility must have accreditation. The health industry will send agency to every aged care facility to have on-site audit maximum every three years. There has four standards including 44 outcomes. You can check the facility accreditationreport  through internet.

Care: The most import thing you have to go to have a look. And ask residents opinion.
The nurses will be on-site for  24 hours and PCA (personal care assistant ) also.
Of course, these are all depend on you are in high care or low care. You need to have ACCR form (aged care assessment form) from community. Therefore, there are some work need to be done before you can go to aged care.

Living:  For most of people, it might be the  last choice to go to an aged care facility. Of course, you cannot expect better than your own home. We need to prepare emotionally  if you need to send your loved ones to aged care or even yourself. There is not the hell nor heaven.

For our Chinese people, language is always a problem. If you need to live with people who can only speak English.  Nothing is perfect. Basiclly, you do not have to worry about fee, food, care in this country compare to China.  You might need to pay medication fee. This is centrelink issue.

Hope it does help. :)

悉尼，Ashfield区，Arthur St上有一家，貌似还不错，很多华人老人住的。太阳好，很多老人轮椅拐杖出来晒太阳，周末儿孙来接回家过的也很多。

mark 一下。没见到在哪啊。
