We encourage all residents and their families to join in with events and activities. Our goal is to make you feel part of the Grant Lodge community. 

If you are thinking of moving into Grant Lodge: 

1. Call us to arrange a visit – we welcome prospective residents and families to come and take a look.
2. You will need to complete an aged care assessment for either permanent or respite care.
3. Once the assessment and paperwork are complete, we will place your name on our waiting list. 

Eligibility 

Eligibility for both permanent and respite residential care at Grant Lodge is determined by an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) following a comprehensive evaluation of the person’s care needs.  

You may be eligible if you: 

• need 24-hour residential nursing care
• live in Bacchus Marsh, Melton or nearby areas – or if a close family member lives in these areas. 

Referrals must be made through the ACAT process. This involves a formal assessment by a qualified ACAT clinician to determine eligibility for government-subsidised residential aged care. 

Cost to client 

The cost is means-tested. This means what you pay depends on your income and assets. The Australian Government uses this information to help decide your fees.
