Navigate Services

The service I wish every ageing Australian could have. I will sit down with you (and your loved ones if you wish), to discuss what your goals are as you age. For many, this is remaining at home and independent for as long as possible. As part of my comprehensive assessment I create an individualised plan and roadmap that identifies services available to you and trigger points as to when these would be utilised. This is proactive planning in action and sets up clients with the best chance possible of achieving their goals. 

​

INCLUDES:

• Family meeting - in person or via Zoom

• Care option advice including how and when to access

• Individualised 'Aged Care Roadmap' that details the possible next steps on your aged care journey

• Follow up support - for those curly Q's that you remember after meeting

My Aged Care is the gateway to Commonwealth subsidised services and support for older people living in Australia.

​

INCLUDES:

• Family meeting - in person or via Zoom

• Initial discussion re: individual needs and how to discuss with My Aged Care

This service is for those who require assistance seeking respite or permanent placement in a Residential Aged Care facility.

​

For this service I tailor a package to your individual needs. I partner with you along your aged care journey and ensure you have the support you need along the way. If you don't feel that any of the options above are quite what you're searching for, please let me know and I can discuss individualised options for you.

​

THIS COULD INCLUDE:

• Care Coordination - someone to step in and arrange services so that you can spend quality time with your family

• Advocacy - for those who may not have family nearby and require someone 'on the ground' that can advocate for them

• Hospital Discharge Planning - coordinating appropriate care and support to safely return home

• Rehabilitation Sourcing - contacting and liaising with potential rehab facilities suited to your individual needs

• Palliative Care Planning - discussing potential options available to you and coordinating care providers to assist

This is a free phone consult to discuss your individual needs and determine what the next steps might be for you. I'll ask numerous questions to understand your unique circumstance and what your immediate needs are. From here I can suggest potential actions for you to take or services that might be helpful.
