Supportive Aged Care Queensland

St Jude’s offers a comprehensive range of aged care services, including residential aged care, home care, dementia-specific support, transitional care, and respite care. All services are customised to meet the individual needs of clients throughout Queensland.

Residential aged care provides 24/7 care in a dedicated St Jude’s facility in QLD, while home care allows individuals to receive personalised support for daily activities, personal care, and healthcare needs in their own homes across Queensland.

Respite care offers short-term, temporary support for individuals, enabling primary carers in Brisbane and Queensland to take a break, knowing their loved one is receiving professional care.

The costs for aged care services depend on the level and type of care required. Eligible QLD seniors can access government subsidies to help reduce out-of-pocket expenses.

The income-tested care fee refers to an additional charge that may apply to individuals receiving home care or residential aged care, based on their income. The fee is determined through a means assessment conducted by the Australian Government and applies to those with higher incomes.

Eligibility for aged care services is determined by an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT), which assesses the individual’s care needs and recommends the most appropriate services, including home care, respite care, or residential care.
