Essential Aged Care Services
The things you'll be glad you had in place.
Some services are worth organising before you actually need them. I've brought together important services that can help with the financial, medical and legal side of caring for an ageing parent so you're not trying to find the right help when you're already under pressure.
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.
Their Will & Estate Planning
Getting Mum and Dad's Will and estate plans in place now can save a lot of stress later. Connect with a professional service that can help you get the important things sorted while you still have time to make informed decisions.
