Would
you like your placement issues solved ....
Aged Care Connect was established
in 2002 after we observed the difficulties that families encountered when they
approached the arduous task of placing a loved one into residential care.
Each
new family approaching the task had very similar concerns, ardently undertook
the same activities, devoted significant time and effort only to uncover the same
information and many times unfortunately made the same mistakes as families that
had gone before them.
There had to be a better way to complete this process
and to achieve a positive outcome for the family.
The management and staff
of Aged Care Connect set about to completely understand all aspects of residential
care placement ranging from the alternatives available, the way in which the financials
are calculated, the quality of care and lifestyle activities delivered by the
aged care providers and emotional aspects commonly experienced by the family.
We made it our mission to be able to provide this collected information
to new families to reduce the level of anxiety and stress for family clients.
Aged Care Connect has gone on to assist a considerable number of family
clients through the residential care maze.
A number of our placement consultants
have successfully completed the Aged Care Quality Assessors course conducted by
the Aged Care Standards and Accreditation Agency Ltd.
This awareness of
the quality standards in Australia's aged care system combined with the experiences
gained through working with so many families means that we can justifiably claim
to be one of the very few services who fully understand all issues surrounding
residential care placement.
We have assisted families in most areas of
Melbourne including Bayside, Camberwell, Malvern, Hawthorn, Glen Eira, South-Eastern
Suburbs, Northern Suburbs and the Outer East.
We enjoy sharing our knowledge
and experience about residential care in Australia with new clients and being
personally involved with the family during this most important and emotional time.
