Emergency respite care
When urgent care is needed for a loved one, Oxa Care provides emergency respite care without requiring an ACAT assessment upfront. If immediate support is necessary, we can arrange admission first and handle the assessment process after entry, ensuring your loved one gets the care they need without delay.
How it works
1. Immediate admission – no waiting for an assessment
We accept emergency respite residents without an ACAT assessment, allowing them to receive care immediately.
2. We arrange the ACAT assessment for you
While your loved one is in our care, we’ll organise an ACAT assessment to determine their eligibility for government funding.
3. We guide you through the paperwork
Our team will help you understand what’s needed and assist with forms and processes, including ACAT referrals and aged care admission documents.
4. Ongoing care options if longer support is needed
If your loved one needs care beyond the initial respite period, we’ll help transition them into a longer-term solution.
