First things first

Aged care can come with some big decisions. Getting clear on a few things now can make the next steps feel a little easier.

  • Do I need help now, or later? Knowing where things stand can help you work out what needs to happen next.
  • Do I have all the right info? Things like medical and care needs, finances, living arrangements and any support already in place.
  • Who needs to be part of the conversation? Family, doctors, advisers or other people who can help.
  • What about the money stuff? Think care costs, government benefits, the family home and how different choices could affect finances.
  • Have they made a will? It might be a good time to check that all wills, powers of attorney and estate plans are up-to-date.
