External Medical Appointments & Transport Planner
A simple, stress-free checklist to help you prepare for medical appointments and patient transport without the last-minute scramble. From what to bring, to who's notified, to making sure nothing gets forgotten on the day — it's all laid out so you can feel organised and in control.
My Parent's Care and Communication Journal
When your parent is in aged care information comes at you from everywhere; nurse calls, doctor updates, specialist notes and medication changes. This journal gives you one organised, central place to capture it all as it happens, so nothing gets lost, forgotten and can easily be found.
Services I Trust
I only recommend services I have personally used or thoroughly vetted for my own family.
Aged Care Financial Advisors
Understanding RADs, DAPs and how aged care affects the age pension is incredibly complex. I highly recommend speaking to a specialist financial advisor before signing any facility contracts.
Medical Alert Systems
For parents staying at home, a reliable fall detector and medical alert pendant brings immense peace of mind. Here is the system we use that doesn't require a landline.
Our Little Gift Shop
Over the years, our family — and so many of the wonderful women I've spoken with — discovered little products that made such a big difference in everyday life. These aren't fancy or expensive. They're the practical, thoughtful finds that quietly made things easier, safer and a little more dignified for Mum and Dad.
