You contribute a share of independence and everyday living services, and hourly rates vary between providers servicing Longford Creek, so compare two or three before committing.
Do I have to choose a provider in Longford Creek itself?

What is the first step to arranging care in Longford Creek?
An assessment through My Aged Care (myagedcare.gov.au or 1800 200 422). Nothing is government funded until that assessment is done, and the queue moves slowly, so applying early is the single most useful thing you can do. You can shortlist providers while you wait.
