Getting to know you helps us find the right
aged care solution for you

Aged care is no longer just about receiving clinical care in a nursing home. Aged care offers a range of care, support and wellbeing services for older Australians. These services may be to help you continue living in your own home, or to provide around-the-clock care and support in a care home. In Australia, the aged care system offers a wide range of options to meet the different needs and preferences of each person.

What’s the right aged care solution for me?

As a provider of aged care services, we’ve been supporting older Australians for over 70 years. That’s how we know that finding the right aged care solution for yourself or for a family member can be a confusing experience. Getting to know you helps us find the right aged care solution for you. By understanding your current situation, care needs and goals, our experienced and supportive team will be able to guide you through the process of understanding the types of care available and what they involve.

What can Whiddon help me with?

Some of the ways that we can help with getting started and understanding what the journey looks like include:

  • Discovering the range of aged care services available

  • Finding the right care solution for you or your family

  • Understanding the cost of different aged care options

  • Accessing and talking with MyAgedCare
