Synopsis

This book includes information designed to empower every-day Australians to make informed decisions about navigating the aged care system and securing appropriate residential aged care for someone they love. The book is written for Australians who face the responsibility of caring for aging people they love. This includes people who care for their aging spouses, aging parents, and aging relatives. The aged care journey is an intensely personal passage. The course is challenging and complex. Along the way you will deal with people who may appear indifferent and who speak a language you don't quite understand. You will need to make quick decisions on behalf of someone you love, sometimes without having all the information you need and often without fully understanding the consequences of each decision. Above all, it is an emotionally charged situation and having an experienced guide can smooth the process and ease some of the emotion. This book will empower Australians to make appropriate and informed decisions about getting residential aged care for someone they love. The book provides a lay-man's account of the system and shares personal stories of people who have travelled the journey. It will help readers to: -Work through the process of aged care decisions without getting hi-jacked by the emotion of a moment -Cut through the complexity of aged care and have a clear understanding of the important decisions that need to be made -Understand and avoid potential pitfalls -Understand where to get help and what to ask for -Overcome anxiety and achieve peace-of-mind What makes this book unique? -It is aimed at everyday Australians - not professionals in the industry. -It acknowledges the personal human experience of the aged care journey. -It avoids unnecessary jargon to make the process clear for the layman. -It cuts through the complexity of the journey - paring the process down to the essentials. -It is short, succinct, and practical.
