Helping You Support an Ageing Parent
Knowing when a parent needs more help
It is not always easy to see when a parent is no longer coping at home. Missed medications or meals, unexplained falls, difficulty getting around, or a carer who is worn out are all common signs that more support is needed. Recognising that moment, and acting on it, can be an emotional and stressful time for the whole family. We help you work through it calmly and make a plan that puts your parent's wellbeing first.
Understanding your parent's options
Depending on your parent's needs, the right answer might be a Home Care Package that lets them stay safely in their own home, a period of respite care to give everyone a break, or a move into the best suited residential aged care home. We explain each option, what it costs, and how to access it, and we use our local knowledge of Perth providers to shortlist homes that genuinely suit your parent.
We handle the hard parts
We take care of the tasks families find most overwhelming: getting the most care hours from your parent's package, completing and lodging Centrelink Income and Assets Assessment forms, negotiating the terms of a residential admission agreement, and providing ongoing advocacy for your parent. If you live far away or are juggling work and family, having one trusted, independent point of contact makes an enormous difference, and it costs you nothing. See myagedcare.gov.au for the official aged care framework.
