Aged Care Online Concierge
Moving into a residential aged care home is a bit different to moving into a house.

Here are some basic items you will need to bring from home - which may make the move into aged care a little more comfortable:

  • Labelled clothing (for laundry). Please note that some aged care homes will label the clothes for you, but we recommend checking with them first.
  • All medications
  • Glasses, hearing aids and spare batteries
  • Clock (that can be seen easily)
  • CD player or radio
  • TV (if not already supplied) You'll need to make sure that the room has a TV outlet.
  • Toiletries bag and personal items
  • Small amount of cash in coin denominations (so the resident can buy small items such as a newspaper if they wish).
  • Framed photos of loved ones
  • Books
  • Comfortable furniture - your chosen aged care home may allow an item or two of personal furniture in the bedroom. Make sure to check with them first.

99-year-old Retired Brisbane Pilot High on Life

on Tuesday, March 11, 2025

Brisbane man Allan Ashton has fit a lot into his 99 years – both on the ground and in the air! The Carinity Home Care client, who celebrated his 99th birthday last week, was born in Newcastle in New South Wales in 1926. Allan went on to work as an electrical fitter for BHP in his hometown.

The occupation would later see Allan and his wife Marion – who he married in 1957 – relocate to Ontario in Canada where Allan oversaw a large manufacturing company.
