Aged Care specialist advice

Entering aged care is often a distressing time, both for the person who may need care and for their family. Usually it’s a time of uncertainty and raises a lot of difficult questions. Oculus specialist advisers understand the difficultly of moving into aged care and will work with you to find the right answers.

What can Oculus do to help the transition of moving into aged care?

• Evaluate and clarify the real costs of entering a facility by discussing; accommodation bonds, daily care fees, accommodation charges, retention fees, income tested fees and explain how extra service fees are calculated.
• Develop a plan to ensure funding will cover the level of care required and will be available for as long as needed while maintaining current lifestyles.
• Present all options so informed decisions can be made.

We can also:

• Structure and manage assets so the possibility of receiving any government assistance is maximised.
• Potentially minimize the costs of entering care by liaising with the facilities to negotiate applicable bonds, fees and charges on behalf of our valued clients.
• Assist to complete any Centrelink reporting requirement forms and assessments in order to receive maximum eligible government assistance.
• Work with the facilities on behalf of our clients, to ensure all decisions are the best for you.
• Always build and maintain professional and courteous relationships with our clients.

Whilst it’s important to get the right advice before it’s time to make the decision, our advisers are able to react to urgent circumstances which we know can arise. Our advisers are experienced and accredited specialists who can work with your family to assess all assets, income and any eligible subsidies. We will create a financial plan to ensure that care is affordable now and into the future.
