Aged Care Homes- The Complete Australian Guide

The opening lines of this book sum up the problems faced by family members and carers when they receive (or make) the dreaded, but long expected phone call.

“Mum’s had a fall; she has broken her hip and is now in hospital. The doctor says she will probably need permanent care – what do we do now and can we find the money?”

As a financial adviser, this is a problem Val Nigol is increasingly being faced with – what are the options for these people, how much will it cost and how are they going to pay for it?

In trying to help his clients Val Nigol found there was little in print which covered this growing issue. What was available was generic, or only covered a few specific areas. It was no good him giving financial advice if he did not have a detailed and accurate knowledge of what was on offer. This meant he had to learn about the broader aspects of the industry.

This book is intended to be a one-stop shop. A how-to guide to the process of accessing, moving into, and maximising Mum's stay in an aged-care home.

The financial advice is given by a qualified expert and the practical processes have been enhanced by input from experts in their own fields. The book does not cover any aspect of aged care that is not residential.

Written by Val Nigol and Anthea Wynn, Aged Care Homes - The Complete Australian Guide is essential reading for any carers researching nursing home care.
