Aged Care

This is especially more so given the changes that have occurred over the last few years. While the changes are designed to bring in some consistency with charges for Aged Care, it has made it more complex to work out what the fees are that you will be asked to pay. We can help you through this maze!
Aged Care costs can vary enormously between facilities and from resident to resident. Understanding the rules, so that costs are minimised and investment outcomes are maximised is a specialist task and one that you should seek help with. Get it wrong and you could pay thousands in additional costs and lost pension payments. Additionally, the correct structuring of investment assets can mean they grow rather than depreciate, during the time a person is in aged care. This latter aspect is obviously an important consideration for estate planning.
