Aged Care Advice
The transition to aged care can be stressful, emotional, and sometimes completely unexpected. Having a professional guiding you every step of the way makes all the difference.
Support for you, and your family
For many of the families we see, aged care arrives suddenly. A fall, a diagnosis, a hospital stay, and suddenly there are enormous decisions to make in a short window, with confusing paperwork and unfamiliar jargon at every turn.
Taking the first step is often the hardest, and with so much information out there, where do you even start? Our process begins with education. We love sharing our knowledge, translating the system into plain English so your family can make decisions with clarity instead of panic.
The questions we help answer
- How much will aged care actually cost, and how are the fees calculated?
- Should we pay the accommodation payment as a lump sum (RAD), daily payment (DAP), or a combination?
- What happens to the family home, do we need to sell it?
- How does moving into care affect the Age Pension?
- How do we structure things fairly for the whole family?
