Emergency admissions can occur, but rarely. In an emergency situation, you can receive residential respite care before approval by an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). This will usually happen following a crisis - for example, there is no primary carer and there are no other options available. Your service provider will then arrange for an ACAT approval within five business days.
