Would
you like to discuss your families residential care needs with someone knowledgable
about all aged care placement matters?
Current knowledge of the care, accommodation and activity programs provided by any aged care home requires thorough independent research and is a time-consuming task.
We have done that time-consuming
research - and our family clients receive real benefits from that knowledge.
Did
you know that accommodation bonds and a number of care fees have always been negotiable?
The "Request for Asset Assessment" information booklet 3055B(1206)
says ..... "you are not required to tell an aged care provider the result
(of the assets assessment) when negotiating an accommodation bond or charge amount
unless you choose to"(Page3)
Do NOT pay
more residential care fees only because the aged care provider has requested you
to !Talk to us before you divulge
your loved one's assets and income statements to any aged care provider - we can
calculate a proper strategy for you to pay the appropriate fees.
We provide
a complete and totally independent aged care placement service. We provide unbiased
advice and practical assistance on all residential care placement activities.
We can assist you to make an informed decision about aged care homes based upon
quality of care and lifestyle programs to a better understanding of the financials
associated with residential care.
Don't waste valuable time searching
all the available databases and then phoning facilities only to be told that the
information is out of date and the vacant bed has already been filled. Just let
us know your needs on our simple
enquiry form and we may have done all the work for you already. Its accurate
and guaranteed always current.
