Understanding aged care

Welcome to the 08 August 2008 Friday Bulletin

Ageing parents are a concern for many Australians keen to help their mum and dad find the best solutions for accommodation and/or assisted living as they get older. This week our downloadable PDF features finance guru, Louise Biti’s, article Surviving the aged care maze, which considers the main issues associated with moving to an aged care facility, including entry costs, bonds, periodic payments and income tests. Louise’s plain English explanations make complex requirements much simpler to understand. We hope you will enjoy this “how to” and send it to any friends who may be dealing with the same issues. There are also a few good sites which offer information on aged care – without trying to sell you something. We list the best, and leave the rest.
And for the many subscribers who continue to contact us with concerns re their pension payments, we are sharing the hotlink for complaints or queries

Enjoy the weekend
