Helping You Find the Right Aged Care Placement

When someone you love needs residential aged care, knowing where to begin can be the hardest part. The system is complex, the choices can be confusing, and time isn’t always on your side. That’s where we step in.

We support families through the aged care placement journey, from understanding your options to helping you choose the right facility. Whether it’s a planned move or a sudden situation, we offer practical guidance and emotional reassurance every step of the way.

You don’t have to navigate aged care on your own. With Navigate Aged Care Solutions, you’ll have someone who understands the system, listens to your concerns, and helps you make informed decisions with confidence.

Are you needing help finding residential aged care?

Moving into residential care is often a stressful time.

My initial consultation will guide you through all aspects of securing an aged care placement, from the paperwork required to understanding the costs and investigating suitable facilities. 

Every person’s situation is unique, and I aim to be as flexible as possible for my clients, providing the services and support you need rather than a “one-size-fits-all” approach and fee. 

I work independently, which means my recommendations are based solely on what’s right for your loved one, not on commissions or partnerships with financial planners. 

My service is affordale, with up-front fees and no hidden costs. 

Every person’s situation is different and requires tailored support. I strive to be as flexible as possible for my clients, offering them exceptional service and value.

Our Process

To provide you with the level of care and support you need, I offer an Initial Consultation where we meet to discuss your loved one. This lets me gain a deeper understanding of their situation, care needs, and what is important to them and their loved ones.

During this conversation, I will also cover all aspects of residential care entry, including costs and fees, as well as the necessary documents, which I have available.

I also focus on discussing the “business” side of care and what to look for when touring and negotiating an admission. This is an important aspect and is often not understood or considered.

This consultation is very comprehensive. By the end, you will have a clear understanding of how aged care works, what steps you need to take and have an action plan.

Some families are happy to proceed independently from this consultation.

Others want additional support with applications and tours. I offer an Application Submission Service where I submit all the applications and associated paperwork to providers on your behalf.

I will liaise with the facilities and support you through the process until your loved one has secured a residential placement.

This service provides you with peace of mind, knowing that someone with the necessary experience and knowledge is available to act on your behalf.

I can also assist you with touring facilities if needed.

Whatever level of support you need, I will be there to support you.

What Support Do We Provide Along the Way?

We manage the paperwork

I will assist with all the required documentation, including Centrelink documents and the residential care applications ensuring a smooth, stream-lined process.

Room costs and fees

I will help you understand the financial cost of aged care, determining your accommodation payments, means-tested fees, and daily care fees, based on your financial situation.

Choosing the right residential care provider

Residential care is about so much more than the cost. I will give you the information you need about prospective facilities, what to look for when touring, and the confidence to make the right decision.

Navigate Aged Care Solutions is not a financial advisor and does not offer financial advice. All information relating to aged care fees is general. If your circumstances require the services of a financial planner, we can recommend specialist aged care financial planners who can assist you.
