Moving a loved one into an aged care facility is not easy
Once the decision arrives to move a loved one into an aged care facilities there are many possible issues that can arise.
On top of all this, you may need to consider:
- What would be the best location?
- How will we fund it?
- Will they be well looked after?
- Are they going to be happy?
- I should be able to look after them but we just don’t have space or time
These factors can cause anxiety for family members, as well as having to deal with companies, unfamiliar terms in agreements, and government departments.
