Additionally, we act as your aged care placement broker, offering a comprehensive financial package that supports you throughout the entire process, both before and after care, so you always have an expert by your side, setting you on the right path.
What is covered at your first meeting?
Your concerns - Aged care topics that are of immediate concern to you. The current aged care landscape provides factual information on Home Care Packages and Residential Aged Care. Choosing where to live as your care needs change is crucial. Whether considering a Retirement Village, Granny Flat, or aged care facility, we can help you navigate the financial outcomes and consequences of various elderly living arrangements you may be contemplating. Finding a provider can be daunting; understanding how this process works and what to be aware of is essential. Understanding the cost of care involves an explanation of the various fees associated with home care and aged care. For most clients, this is a complex area, and we take the time to ensure you comprehend the different fees involved. Our aged care financial advice meeting provides an overview of what your aged care fees will be and how these may change depending on whether you leave your home vacant, rent it out, or sell it. We calculate your aged care fees, including means testing and implications for your Centrelink Age Pension, if applicable, and what self-funded retirees need to be aware of. For couples entering care, this can be a complex area to understand, and seeking assistance from an aged care specialist is often critical to ensure you are not paying more than necessary. We recommend that you refrain from completing your Services Australia cost of care forms until after this meeting. Other things to be aware of when considering your next steps include the uniqueness of your aged care journey. During this meeting, we may cover many other related topics that are relevant to your aged care considerations, such as estate planning, legal implications, and Centrelink. After this meeting, it may be apparent that further specialist advice is required. If that is the case, Aged Care Solved works with your existing financial, legal, or professional advisers. If you don’t have one, we collaborate with a panel of aged care placement brokers and professionals to ensure all your needs are covered, guiding you as your Aged Care Navigator expert.
