With over 10 years experience Alan Maddick the practice owner is well placed to assist with your Aged Care issue.
At Mount Martha Accountants we are Accountants first and foremost – professionals here to give you advice and help you navigate this complex area in an emotional and often very time pressured time. We are not interested in selling you financial products or retirement homes.
Most people seeking support, help and advice in regard to Aged Care typically have accessed information from Aged Care Providers, the My Aged Care website or from family and friends who have had recent aged care experiences, generally if you are still seeking advice it will be to gain a better understanding of the aged care system, how it works and how the fees involved really work.
We are generally able to provide the information and advice that is needed during a single fact to face meeting, during this initial meeting we will discuss the fundamentals of the system. We will also consider some of the options to fund the accommodation and the likely effect on social security support (Centrelink Age Pension or DVA pensions) and on the Means Tested Care Fee. In this meeting we provide you with factual information and assist you in understanding your position. We are not providing any strategic financial advice or financial product advice in this factual information meeting.
In some cases the move into residential aged care can come suddenly as part of a medical crisis, unfortunately making the whole situation a crisis situation. We can assist in managing this situation including working with other professionals such as lawyers, real estate agents and financial institutions as well as consulting and engaging with other family members where needed.
