Guidance and advice in researching aged care facilities in Perth vacancies
We recognise the uncertainty that often accompanies a family’s decision to choose an aged care home. If you are in the process of researching vacancies at aged care facilities in Perth, we invite you to explore Rosewood Leederville as an option. The Rosewood ethos of feeling at home, comfortable and part of a vibrant community is woven throughout every aspect of our residential care facilities.
In order to apply for accommodation, you will require and Aged Care Assessment Team assessment (ACAT). You can obtain information about which ACAT is closest to you by calling 1800 200 422. Alternatively, your own doctor can refer you to the local ACAT.
From 1 July 2021, there is a requirement for aged care providers to obtain informed consent from the aged care resident or their substitute decision maker about restrictive practices (environmental restraint, physical restraint, mechanical restraint, chemical restraint and seclusion). Restrictive practices must only be used as a last resort strategy. Restrictive practices are practices which are used for the primary purpose of influencing a person’s behaviour.
An Enduring Guardian is considered to be an appropriate substitute decision maker for restrictive practices. If you do not already have an Enduring Power of Guardianship and Enduring Power of Attorney in place, you can find information about how to put these in place, including forms to complete, through the Office of the Public Advocate WA [https://www.publicadvocate.wa.gov.au/]. The Office of the Public Advocate has also released a position statement about restrictive practices [Public Advocate _ Restrictive Practices_ Position Statement 2].
The Citizen Advice Bureau WA [https://www.cabwa.com.au/] has factsheets about Enduring Power of Guardianship and Enduring Power of Attorney – copies of the factsheets can be found here: [Enduring_Power_of_Attorney] [Enduring_Power_of_Guardianship].
