Moving into an aged care home means new surroundings, routines and people. You may have help with many of the everyday tasks that you’ve been used to doing for yourself, and you’ll be able to participate in plenty of social activities.
It’s important to remember that you will still be your own person. As long as your health permits, you can go on holidays, visit friends and come and go as you like.
You will still be able to vote and enjoy other rights as a citizen. You will retain the right to control your finances and possessions.
As a resident, you will have a say in your living arrangements in general. You will be expected to respect the rights and needs of other people in the home, as they will be expected to respect yours.
