Good to know
Aged Care Advice — your questions, answered.
Do you provide aged care financial advice in Mandurah?
Yes. We help Mandurah and Peel-region families understand and plan for the financial side of aged care — including the costs of entering care, ongoing fees, the role of the family home and how Centrelink or DVA benefits are affected.
How much does aged care cost?
It depends on the type of care and your financial situation, and the rules are complex. We sit down with your family, explain the costs of entering care and the ongoing fees in plain English, and model the options so you can see the real impact of each choice before you decide.
What happens to the family home?
The family home is often the biggest and most emotional question. We help you understand the role it can play in funding entry to care, how it's treated for fees and Centrelink purposes, and the options for keeping, renting or selling it — so the decision is an informed one.
Will moving into care affect my Centrelink or DVA pension?
It can. Moving into aged care changes how your assets and income are assessed, which can affect your Centrelink or Department of Veterans' Affairs entitlements. We help you understand the impact and structure things appropriately.
Can you help the whole family make the decision together?
Yes — and we think that's important. Aged care decisions work best when the family is on the same page. We help everyone understand the priorities, costs and options so you can arrive at an outcome you're all comfortable with.
Should aged care planning include estate planning?
Ideally, yes. Decisions about the family home, assets and care funding all affect your estate. We help make sure your aged care plan and your estate planning reflect your wishes and work together, rather than pulling in different directions.
