For many people, the decision to move into an aged care facility is one that comes after much consideration. It usually comes after a great deal of time considering the advantages and disadvantages that aged care living arrangements have to offer.

If you’re considering the offerings of an aged care facility, you’re most likely wondering about the benefits it can bring into your life. Many facilities have a five star rating, and if this is your first experience of apartment living, you may be wondering exactly what a five star rating can mean.

Five star living arrangements will mostly refer to the optional extras available in a luxury facility. 5 star quality will mean your carers, activities, food and basic facilities are state of the art in the area of aged care living. Particular focus in a five star aged care facility is on the quality of life of a patron, and maximising the enjoyment of each patron who uses that facility. You can expect the highest quality from the following aspects of five star living.

• Highly responsive staff and carers
• Highest care in hygiene and cleanliness
• Superior nutritional policies
• Special needs facilities
• Dining and recreational facilities
• Engaging, relevant and fun activities for patrons to enjoy

Five star living in aged care aims to maximise the quality of life for all those who use it. You can expect to receive personalised care that deals with your unique needs and interests, in an environment that is both pleasant and secure. Five star aged care should mean that the priority of all staff in the facility is your comfort and happiness. It’s all about you.

Moving into an aged care facility an important milestone in life and one that should not be made quickly. It’s important to be particularly careful about making sure you get the very best care you can afford in which to start this new phase of your life. If you’re concerned about any of the aspects of the aged care facility you’re considering then be sure to write down your concerns and discuss them with your agent until you’re satisfied that they’re clear.
