Practical Issues
Minimise hours of wasted time and money
Countless hours can be spent trying to locate necessary documentation to access services either at home or in residential care. It’s really beneficial to know where key documents, papers, forms and reference numbers are, so help can be obtained as quickly when required. It can be difficult to know where to start. AgedCareIQ can help by providing you with structured Information and Checklists for you to work through systematically, saving you copious amounts of otherwise wasted time and money.
Household bills, accounts, banks and all things practical
Likewise, its imperative to work with your loved one, if possible, to gain an understanding of how practical household issues are addressed. Try to ascertain whether bills come electronically or via snail mail, what records are held in hard copy or electronically, where user names and passwords are securely stored, which banks are used for credit cards and accounts and who insurances are with.
Remind your loved one that you are collating these details to help them – in the first instance to stay at home and remain independent then, maybe if residential care is required, to takeover the admin role for them.
To sell or not to sell the family home
In most cases, selling the family home or not is a stressful decision and may be necessary for a range of reasons including downsizing, paying a Refundable Accommodation deposit (RAD) for residential aged care, or death.
