How do I find a care home that has standard rooms?

Use the Eldernet Vacancy Status Report for your region:

  • select the correct region AND your required level of care;
  • select View in table (located on the right side of your screen);
  • look for care homes showing a vacancy from the Vacant Beds column and No and Some from the 'Dedicated Bed Premium Room Charges' column.
  • For an immediate vacancy - unless the care home has NO Dedicated Bed Premium Room Charges WITH a vacancy then you will need to contact the care homes that partially match your criteria. Please note the '10km rule' below.

The shortage of standard rooms has become an issue of late however the '10km Rule' ensures those who cannot afford premium fees can find a suitable residence.
