Aged Care Assessment Cairns
Preparing for an aged care assessment in Cairns? I’ll explain what to expect and help you clearly communicate the support your loved one needs.
Independent advice that starts with your family
I don’t work for an aged care provider and I don’t receive commissions or referral fees for recommending one. There’s nothing I need to sell you and no particular direction I need you to take.
You and your loved one make the decisions. I’m here to explain the options, answer your questions and help you work out what feels right for your family.
If you’re looking for aged care consultants in Cairns and would like to talk through what’s happening, I’d love to hear from you.
Know what to expect
Before the assessment, we’ll talk about what life actually looks like for your loved one. Are they finding it harder to shower safely, cook a meal, keep up with the house or get to appointments? Are there things family members have quietly taken over without really thinking of them as “care”? These are the details that can easily be missed.
I can explain how the assessment works and help you think about what needs to be discussed. Where appropriate, I can also attend the assessment with you to provide support and advocacy, and follow up afterwards if needed.
Getting assessed doesn’t mean giving up control over what happens next. For many families I work with, it’s actually about finding out what help is available so their loved one can keep living at home and choose the support they are comfortable with.
If you have an aged care assessment coming up in Cairns, I can help you go into it knowing what to expect and what you want to talk about.
