If you are exploring aged care for the first time, The Good Shepherd Home in Townsville is here to guide you through the process. We invite you and your family to visit our welcoming community, where one of the largest aged care homes in Townsville offers trusted care, engaging activities and a supportive environment that feels like home.
Understanding the Aged Care Journey
Searching for aged care can feel overwhelming, but knowing the steps makes it easier. First, assess your loved one’s care needs. These may include help with daily tasks, medical support or companionship. Residential aged care provides permanent accommodation, meals, personal care, nursing services and social activities designed to enhance well-being. We recommend arranging an assessment through My Aged Care to understand eligibility and funding options.
Choosing the Right Facility
Not all aged care facilities in Townsville are the same, so visiting potential homes is essential. We invite you to tour our expansive grounds, meet our friendly staff and experience firsthand the warm atmosphere we provide. Look for a place that offers a balance of high-quality care, meaningful activities and a welcoming community, where your loved one will feel safe, supported and valued every day.
Making the Transition Smooth
Moving into aged care facilities in Townsville can be an emotional time for families. Planning helps make the transition smoother. Bring familiar belongings to personalise the new room, stay connected through visits and encourage your loved one to participate in activities and make new friends. Our team supports residents and families throughout the adjustment period, ensuring everyone feels confident and cared for.
