Specialised dementia care

The Specialist Dementia Care Program is for people with severe symptoms of dementia. We can support people who may not be able to access suitable care in mainstream aged care services.

Our staff

You can be assured that our staff will provide high quality care. They are qualified and experienced, and dedicated to supporting your needs.

Fees + charges

All aged care homes set their own room pricing, within limits that the government determines. This depends on factors like location and the size or features of rooms. Your Services Australia Assets and Income assessment will decide the amount you need to pay for accommodation and how much government support you can receive.

Michelle, daughter of aldersgate aged care resident

"My dear dad has Alzheimer's and is in full-time care. Everything in his world is 'lovely and beautiful now'. Thank you to the wonderful carers who care for him 24/7 when we can't be there. If you're in need of a care home for your ageing parents, please consider Aldersgate."
