Family Information Session
The information session helps the family understand
the process, identify quality alternatives and develop the plan for placement.
The information session provides welcomed peace of mind to the family that
all items have been considered. We usually conduct the session in the comfort
and privacy of the family home.
Don't have time for the personalised consult? you may like to consider our
fast response "selection
of aged care homes" or "completing
the placement service" instead.
This plan developed during the consultation can support the family to continue
with the placement activities using mainly their own time and energy.
The family information session is ideally suited to family members with
time and energy to be personally involved with all of the activities required
to complete the placement.
This service consists of a meeting with the family. An dedicated and experienced
placement consultant visits with the family for a period between 1.5 and
2 hours.
The placement consultant will listen to the family member(s) describe the
detailed family needs and progressively document a summary of those needs.
The placement consultant will continue to describe the usual steps to be
completed, make the family aware of many useful hints and guidelines and
answer any questions that the family may have about aged care.
The placement consultant is able to provide the family with all of the current
rules and effective strategies relating to aged care placement. Topics included
during the family information session will include: " aged care options
available, " financial considerations, " questions about power-of-attorney
and guardianship " emotional support issues.
The family information session is usually conducted in the comfort and privacy
of the family home. Under some circumstances, the placement consultant will
use a portable computer to reinforce the information presented.
This service is a very effective way to develop a plan which can form a
solid basis for a successful placement.
The fee for the information session is payable on the day of the consultation.
The major benefit of this service is that it enables all family members
to make an excellent start based upon professional knowledge and experience
and the cost of the service is affordable.
