MannaCare is here to help you navigate through the complexities of admission in Residential Care.

We will provide all the necessary information and assist in guiding you through the eligibility processes.

An Aged Care Assessment is completed by an Aged Care Assessment Service (ACAS) representative. The assessment will provide you with an approval to access the services provided through Commonwealth-funded and regulated Residential Aged Care, such as permanent and respite care.

Combined Income and Asset Assessment is a must for anyone entering Residential Aged Care. Centrelink will conduct an assessment of your income and assets and will determine how much you may be asked by your service provider to contribute to the cost of your care.

Priority of entry is given by MannaCare to those who have lived in the City of Manningham, have family living in the municipality or who have some other close connection with the municipality.  Applications may also be considered from older people from other areas.
