It is important to be aware of your options when considering aged care. Some paths clients can opt for include staying in the family home with assistance from a Home Care package; transitioning to an aged care facility with onsite assistance; or perhaps relocating to a retirement village, while maintaining independence in a safe environment. We can help in finding the option that best fits you and your requirements.
Things you will need to consider include how to pay for aged care, including entry costs and ongoing fees; if any benefits or entitlements you receive will affect the amount you will be paying; and whether or not you need to sell the family home.
There is an income and asset test you will need to undertake to determine whether or not you can afford aged care. At Sunshine Coast Financial Advisers, our qualified team can assist you through this process, ensuring you fully understand all the costs involved, as well as your payment options, and being able to adapt to any possible changes in legislation.
Don’t head into choosing an aged care facility blindly. Whether it’s deciding on an arrangement for yourself or your family member, we can walk you through the process step by step.

Currently, the maximum basic daily fee for new residents entering aged care (including respite) is $47.86. This rate increases on March 20th and September 20th of every year to coincide with changes to the Age Pension.
Residential aged care is funded by both the Australian Government and contributions from residents. Residents also pay fees which contribute to the cost of their care and accommodation.
