Whilst everyone’s situation is different we know that in this critical area of aged care advice the value and support we can provide enables you to spend more time with your family. Our experienced advisers aim to minimise the costs and maximise the support you receive. For one client, we have been able to introduce strategies that reduced ongoing care fees by in excess of $10,000pa. For another, our advice enabled the retention of the family home through the negotiation of a reduced entry fee and the introduction of a monthly charge rather than a lump sum.
