Low-Needs Care Nursing Homes vs. Aged Care – What are the differences?
‘Aged care’ and ‘nursing homes’ are often used interchangeably, but they are quite different, particularly for low-needs care nursing homes . Nursing homes are privately-funded communal homes that receive no government funding or subsidies, and usually charge a weekly or fortnightly nursing home fee which covers accommodation, meals, laundry, servicing of rooms, use of communal facilities and all social programs and activities.
