Planning for Aged Care
Aged Care doesn’t have to be difficult
Let us help guide you through the financial steps
How can we help?
When a family member needs to move into Aged Care it is often a challenging time and can be made more stressful if you do not understand all the of financial implications.
What we help with:
- Reviewing several strategies for entry into aged care
- Understanding aged care fees
- To understand the implications for investments and the family home
- Centrelink/Department of Veteran’s Affairs implications and/or eligibility
- An analysis of cashflow (income and expenses)
- Providing peace of mind on what direction you as a family take in this stressful time

What does it cost for aged care services?
The costs associated with aged care facilities can be difficult to navigate. The final cost will depend upon several factors including:
- your income and assets
- your current status as a pensioner
- Level of care required
- The fixed and variable costs required by the aged care service
Strategies?
If you engage our service we will review a number of options of how assets can be arranged and funding accommodation payments. We will provide a report explaining these options and the impact this will have on the final aged care costs, cashflow, assets, etc.
This will help you understand the aged care fees, analyse how your cashflow will be affected and what effect is may have on an estate for estate planning considerations.
