This book includes information designed to empower every-day Australians to make informed decisions about navigating the aged care system and securing appropriate residential aged care for someone they love. The book is written for Australians who face the responsibility of caring for aging people they love. This includes people who care for their aging spouses, aging parents, and aging relatives. The aged care journey is an intensely personal passage. The course is challenging and complex. Along the way you will deal with people who may appear indifferent and who speak a language you don't quite understand. You will need to make quick decisions on behalf of someone you love, sometimes without having all the information you need and often without fully understanding the consequences of each decision. Above all, it is an emotionally charged situation and having an experienced guide can smooth the process and ease some of the emotion. This book will empower Australians to make appropriate and informed decisions about getting residential aged care for someone they love. The book provides a lay-man's account of the system and shares personal stories of people who have travelled the journey. It will help readers to: -Work through the process of aged care decisions without getting hi-jacked by the emotion of a moment -Cut through the complexity of aged care and have a clear understanding of the important decisions that need to be made -Understand and avoid potential pitfalls -Understand where to get help and what to ask for -Overcome anxiety and achieve peace-of-mind What makes this book unique? -It is aimed at everyday Australians - not professionals in the industry. -It acknowledges the personal human experience of the aged care journey. -It avoids unnecessary jargon to make the process clear for the layman. -It cuts through the complexity of the journey - paring the process down to the essentials. -It is short, succinct, and practical.

He has a deep appreciation for and understanding of the range of emotions and stress that families go through when placing a loved one into an aged care facility and works to provide solutions that reduce their anxiety and provide them with clarity and peace of mind about the financial aspects of securing residential aged care He is part of a team which helps families to evaluate a variety of matters and make decisions regarding accommodation facilities, entry and ongoing fees, restructuring assets and income, and how these decisions impact on pension benefits, tax effectiveness, and estate planning. Their work enables families to determine if they can afford aged care by establishing their assessable assets and income and calculating and helping them understand aged care fees. They help families improve their financial position by developing options to restructure their assets and income in order to optimise fees, age pension, tax effectiveness, and cash-flow (this includes helping them to decide whether to sell or keep the home).
