Aged Care Facilities

Priority Healthcare's staff are proud to boast a 100% accreditation rate relating to physiotherapy specific standards. We hope that the reason for this will become evident as you work with us.

Great care is taken to ensure our facilities are fully compliant with government accreditation and documentation standards. 

Our unique staffing structure means you will always have one regular Physiotherapist to work at your facility and a manager who will perform a minimum of one shift per fortnight. We do this to ensure the highest possible level of care and to ensure we thoroughly work through any complex care requirement your facility or residents may have.

Our Physiotherapists are experienced in providing care for dementia, high and low care residents. We are familiar with ageing in place and various other programs.

What we can achieve

We achieve our goals through extensive knowledge of aged care funding protocols, comprehensive assessments experience and precise care planning procedures. Our methodical documentation, precise communication and emphasis on clear directives ensures we are valuable members of your facility.

We are skilled in using iCare, LeeCare, paper notes and various other computer software packages used in aged care facilities.

We generally charge $89+GST per hour (GST is rebated during quarterly BAS). There may be cheaper physiotherapy services providers but we only provide experienced aged care clinicians with excellent communications skill and a high work ethic.   

Why else should you use Priority Healthcare:

• Our pro-active response to hygiene and infection control.
• All of our Physiotherapists speak clear and fluent English.
• We don't use sponsored overseas Physiotherapists, students or Exercise Physiologists to provide our pain management services.
• We supply all our own equipment.
• We have exercise software to produce large and easy to understand exercise program for the elderly resident.
• Our Physiotherapists are familiar with the RAP ordering process of equipment for DVA residents.
• We understand the dynamics involved in selecting and providing residents with 4A/4B funding.
• We liaise directly with hospitals before your residents return to ensure we fully cater for their mobility needs.
• Our Physiotherapists can provide X-ray referrals for residents. Spinal, hip, knee and pelvic X-ray are usually bulk billed.
• All of our staff have the required police checks, insurances and qualification to work with aged care residents.
