Olwyn KinderStill undecided? Can't make up your mind which home is best
September 13th 2009 02:01
Sometimes after visiting various residential aged facilities it can become quite a task to make a final decision as to which home you or your family member really prefers. Also, if you are looking to enter an aged care residential facility as a low care resident and you have not been assessed as a supported resident, you will be faced with the obligation of having to pay an accommodation bond of many thousands of dollars. If you are looking to enter a low care, or extra sertvices high care home, sometimes this will mean having to sell the family home in order to have the funds available to pay the required bond. You need to obtain financial advice to determine the best available option for you.
If you or your family member are faced with indecision or needing to wait for appropriate financial arrangements to be put in place, why not take advantage of the respite care option. This allows you or your family member to reside in a residential aged care facility for a period of 63 days in any given financial year. Towards the end of that time you or your family member must then decide whether they wish to remain as a permanent resident or whether they wish to move out to an alternative type of care.
This 63 day period allows you or your family member to get a feel for the home and to decide whether this particular facility is what you or your family member would be happy residing in for many years to come. Also, this respite period gives an opportunity for appropriate financial arrangements to be made.
Please be aware that this applies only to entry to residential aged care facilities within Australia. You would need to check with your local health care authorities as to the regulations regarding entry to aged care homes in your country, state, or province.
