Planning for Aged Residential Care during the Holiday Season

During the Christmas and festive season, families often catch up with each other to celebrate - visiting their elderly parents - or discussing the health condition of loved ones with other family members.

This can be a time when you realise that the person that you love has had a difficult year, and may continue to have problems during the next year.

We can help you plan for aged care - saving you stress and time

This is an excellent time to start the planning for residential aged care.

Unfortunately, many families that we have assisted over the years have only considered and approached us after a serious event has happened to their loved one; like a fall, a stroke; increasing short term memory loss, or a visit to hospital, which has then urgently initiated the aged care placement process.

There is a wide choice of types of residential care and the quality of the care delivered can vary. It pays to take some time to get the right outcome, and it is definitely not a good idea to make decisions about this important area in a hurry. Hasty decisions inevitably lead to mistakes being made.

Families are usually not in a position to know where the best residential care option is available.

The holiday period is an excellent time to seek experienced advice from a professional aged care placement team such as Aged Care Connect.

We won't be switching the business off over the Christmas and New Year period, and taking any relaxing walks along the beach. Our team will be hard at work over the holiday break assisting our family clients.

Relax. We are here ready to assist you through the holiday season.

Simply contact us to be better informed and prepared.

Yesterday I received a call from the low care facility in the area of which we were looking to get my Father in. My husband and I went to have a look and absolutely loved what we saw. It was exactly what we wanted in a secure dementia room. We immediately took the room and on Monday I go back there to sign all the paperwork, then the following day, we can move our Father in. They did mention that they received all of the necessary paperwork from you guys, which was a blessing to both my husband and I. I would just like to thank all the staff there in taking off the added pressure of doing all the 'dirty' work for us. We are forever grateful to you and your staff. The fee that you charge is more than worth the work and the time that you do. I am in shock of how quick things moved along. As we are at an age where most of our friends are in the same boat, I have been giving your number out and recommending you in high regard. Again, thank you and kind regards

I would just like to say Thank you. I can not express just how much I appreciate all you have done for us. I am extremely close to my wonderful mother and it has been heartbreaking to have watched her suffer the way she has. Finally she is showing improvement and the care and staff are so terrific at .... All thanks to you we can now rest easy knowing she is in great care.Your skills knowledge and expertise have certainly shown through .I think today people are all to quick to make complaints but few take the time to give credit where it is due.So thank you isnt enough to say for the gratitude I feel ,The fee was truly worth every cent and I could only highly recommend you to anyone requiring your services.Again many many thanks

My sincere thanks to you for just 'being there' at a time when relatives feel so vulnerable, having to deal with the mercenary side of their aged parents needs. I have total confidence in recommending your services should any of my friends be in a similar position. It has taken a huge weight off me, as not being well myself at this time, I found it all very draining. Thanking you once again for your very prompt and effective service and wishing you every success in the future. Kind regards

Again let me thank you for your professionalism and efficiency in these negotiations and I add a final note of gratitude from the Doyle Family, as we applaude the result. Our Father, now I'm sure, will settle down and be well looked after in this facility and we'll continue to keep a watchful eye over him in his new home.
