From the Managing Editor Welcome to the 2020 edition of the DPS Guide to Aged Care Queensland. For more than 20 years the DPS Guide to Aged Care has provided seniors and their families with essential information about aged care in Australia. Our print and online publications are an essential tool to help you understand and access aged care services – from home and community care through to residential care accommodation and retirement living options. To help you understand the aged care process even better we have created easy to follow flow charts which visualise your options and the steps to take for home care and residential aged care. The articles in the front half of the book give detailed descriptions of the various aged care services available and discuss any financial and legal issues you need to be aware of, as well who can assist with expert advice around advocacy and placement. The directory section at the back provides a comprehensive list of all Australian Government subsidised residential accommodation and approved home care package providers. An extensive list of retirement living operators and private providers of homes and services are also included.
You can use the DPS Guide in conjunction with our website – AgedCareGuide.com.au – which provides greater detail on the services offered by individual aged care homes, home care providers, retirement villages, as well as professional services and products. Simply type in the associated ‘DPS Web ID’ number from this book in the space provided on the website to link directly to a chosen home, service or product.
From there you can save the listing, share it with friends and family, contact the facility by phone or send an enquiry directly to the facility. Current bed vacancies, as well as home care availability and retirement units for sale or lease, are also listed on the website. We would like to wish you all the best as you embark on your journey in locating the home or services to suit your needs. When engaging a service, please advise the aged care home, retirement village, community care provider, or product and service provider that you found their details in the DPS Guide to Aged Care.
We welcome any suggestions on information we can provide in the next edition of the DPS Guide to Aged Care or on AgedCareGuide.com.au to further assist in your journey. Simply email margot.white@dps.com.au I look forward to hearing from you.
