Our family information session is designed to help you to understand the current rules and regulations and develop the best residential care placement plan for the future.
This residential care plan can be used to continue with the placement activities using their own time and effort.
The family information session is ideally suited to family members with time and energy to be personally involved with the activities required to complete the placement. This service consists of a meeting with the family - a placement consultant visits with the family for a period usually around one and a half hours.
The placement consultant will collect the family residential care placement needs and preferences and then describe the standard steps to be completed, provide many useful hints and tips and answer any questions that you may have about residential care placement.
The placement consultant can provide the family with all of the current rules and effective strategies relating to residential care placement. This information service is an effective way to develop a plan which can form a solid basis for a successful placement. The fee for the information session is payable on the day of the consultation.
The benefit of the information session is that family members can make an excellent start based on professional knowledge and experience and the cost of the information service is affordable.
After having a personalised information session, if the family chooses to use any of our other residential care placement services, then the fee for the information session is deducted from the complete placement service.
Our facility selection service is designed to help families find at least six facilities which are suitable based upon the family needs and preferences. We take the quesswork out of the all-important task of selecting the right aged care home for your loved one.
After gathering information about the care recipient needs, location preferences, financial situation and social aspects; our experienced placement team will use their current knowledge of the local aged care homes including important information about waiting list status to provide you with a shortlist of appropriate aged care facilities.
The facility shortlist can then be provided to case managers, hospital social workers or transition care co-coordinators to satisfy their need for awareness that the family has found a number of aged care homes in which to begin the application process.
The family can use the shortlist as a start to arranging facility visits.
The major benefit of this service is that the family can be assured that the aged care homes selected have been matched to the family needs
