Video Transcript Step 1 - Get Informed
Welcome to Agedcare101: an online step-by-step guide with everything you need to know to help your loved one make a smooth transition into an aged care home.
The first big message is that you need to be organise, understand the costs and have all your key documents ready. Our 9-step guide makes this easy!
Since July 2014, new aged care costs have applied. There are four new fees: a basic daily fee, a means tested care, accommodation, and additional services.
Want the government to contribute? You will need to have an income and assets test. The government will decide how much they will contribute, based on your unique assessment.
If you are making important decisions on someone’s behalf, make sure you have copies of all relevant documentation proving your legal status.
You will save hours of frustration if you understand all the steps – which you will find here at agedcare101.
We look forward to helping you on this new journey.
