Are you searching for a high quality residential aged care facility, reviewing the quality of your current residential aged care facility or deciding between two residential aged care facilities that appear similar? You may find the recently released '10 questions' series of leaflets produced in consultation with the NSW Aged Care Roundtable helpful. Each leaflet focuses on an individual aspect of care to increase consumer knowledge and make the journey into residential aged care easier: Contracts and fees, Staffing, GP services, Dental and oral health, Rural and remote care, Cultural needs, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, LGBTI(Q) needs, Facilities and lifestyle, Palliative care. You can get the leaflets free online at http://www.10questions.org.au.
