Residential Aged Care Placement Services
Residential aged care, also known as aged care home or a nursing home, is for senior Australians who can no longer live independently at home and need ongoing help with everyday tasks or health care. Leaving your own home and entering an aged care home or having to place a family member in an aged care facility isn’t an easy decision.
The Australian aged care system can be particularly complicated, knowing where to start, what aged care options are available, what fees and charges are involved, what documentation is required, what level of care is required, finding the right accommodation to meet your needs; all of these considerations can often be stressful, challenging, emotional and an overwhelming process for most people. Making the wrong decision could affect the comfort and quality of life of loved ones for many years.
Platinum Retirement Solutions are aged care placement and relocation specialists, offering a range of independent advice, guidance and assistance to seniors and their families when seeking entry into a residential aged care facility.
Because each person is different and everyone’s circumstances and reasons for needing to move into an aged care facility are unique we will provide you a tailored aged care solution to meet your lifestyle and financial needs.
