When should you start thinking
about your aged care requirements?

Making an informed decision about aged care is incredibly important. 

Making the wrong decision can have far-reaching consequences for the whole family. When aged care decisions go badly, the stress can lead to family conflicts.

The first place to start is reviewing your current financial position.

The Cutcher & Neale Aged Care team can then model various scenarios and forecast cash flow and net asset positions considering initial and ongoing aged care fees.

These scenarios illustrate the consequences of key decisions, such as what to do with the family home, how to fund initial and ongoing fees and what effect each has on government entitlements such as the age pension.

Costs of Aged Care

The costs associated with residential aged care can be complex and difficult to understand. Navigating through these options, particularly if the need is urgent, can be a very stressful process for those going into care as well as their families.

That is why discussing aged care needs with an experienced advisor is the key to making informed decisions.

The contribution to the cost of aged care can be divided into three broad categories:

  1.   Accommodation payments
  2.   Daily care fees
  3.   Additional service fees

 

 

Aged care is a complex and constantly changing area. Getting good quality advice at the right time is key.

You don’t need extra stress wondering if you’ve made the right decision.
