What residential aged care is
Residential aged care is 24-hour care in a home for older Australians who can no longer live safely at home: accommodation, meals, nursing and personal care, arranged through My Aged Care. Elderberry covers every government-registered home in Australia and rates each one on the Elderberry Index, built from the Government's own star ratings.

Four ways in
Homes lists every home with its Index, resident places and address. Locations starts from a map, a state, a city or a postcode. Brands compares the operators behind the homes. Guides answer the questions families ask about costs, applying, the types of care and life once you are there.
Getting matched to a home
The matching wizard takes a postcode and five questions, then ranks the homes near you by what matters to your family: places available, fees, care needs. It is free, and your details go only to the homes you choose to contact.
Where the figures come from
Ratings and figures are drawn from public Australian Government datasets at the dates shown on each page. Our rating methodology sets out the four weights and their limits. Confirm current figures with My Aged Care (1800 200 422) and the provider before making a decision.
