Aged Care Advice
What is Aged Care?
Everyone has a different relationship and experience with life and aging, but we all have one thing in common ~ we all age every day!
Reasons for moving into an Aged Care home will vary between people. One reason can simply be to enjoy the company, community environment and entertainment facilities. Other reasons can include the physical support on offer and the reassurance of having immediate medical and nursing care on hand. There are clearly a range of personal, practical, emotional and financial considerations that come into play when making these decisions and choosing a home.
​​The government subsidises Aged Care by $14 billion a year and frequently changes the rules to manage the costs. There can be both great benefits and not so great pitfalls and traps to watch out for and be aware of. Having caring, understanding and professional support to inform and guide you through your unique situation can make a huge difference. It is also wonderful to have help with filling in all the necessary forms!
Some people actually get a new lease of life and have a great time in Aged Care, especially if they had been struggling at home. Everything is provided and it is possible to have many new friends.​
