How it works
Our Six-Step Future Care Process
1
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a compassionate consultation with one of our experienced care consultants.
During this initial consultation, we take the time to listen to your story, understand your concerns, and learn about you or your loved one’s current situation.
We’ll discuss care needs, preferences, and any specific challenges you’re facing.
2
Comprehensive Assessment
We conduct a thorough assessment of your care needs to identify the most appropriate level and type of care required.
We’ll explore important factors such as medical needs, mobility considerations, personal preferences, cultural or religious requirements, and lifestyle priorities.
Together, we’ll discuss location preferences, budget considerations, and any specific amenities or services that matter most to you.
3
COMPREHENSIVE CARE SUMMARY & REFERRAL REPORT
The referral documentation includes the care support plan, and any other required documentation to streamline the referral and placement process.
We ensure all information is accurate, complete, and presented in a way that gives the care providers a full understanding of you or your loved one’s needs and preferences, saving you time and stress while maximising chances for the right placement.
4
IDENTIFYING SUITABLE CARE PROVIDERS
Drawing on our extensive network and industry knowledge, we identify care providers that align with your requirements, care needs, location, budget, and personal preferences we’ve discussed.
We’ll provide you with detailed information about each option, including services offered, residential care home features or in-home care support, availability, and costs. You’ll receive honest insights about each provider, helping you make a well-informed comparison and decision.
5
CARE CONNECTION
Once you’ve identified your preferred options, we guide you through the process from start to finish.
We’ll coordinate home care provider meetings and residential care tours, attend appointments with you if desired, evaluate each option against your identified objectives, help you understand eligibility and admission requirements, and assist with completing paperwork.
We liaise directly with providers on your behalf, answering their questions and advocating for your specific needs.
6
AFTER-CARE SUPPORT
Our support doesn’t end there.
As you begin your next chapter, we stay connected to ensure everything feels right and that you and your family feel fully supported every step of the way.
Bespoke Consulting Service
Tailoring Support for Any Situation
If our standard services don’t quite match your needs, we also offer flexible hourly consulting that can be tailored to your specific situation.
Our bespoke consulting hours may for example help with:
General aged care guidance
Answering questions and providing clarity on any aged care matter. This may include information on eligibility, assessments, funding, realistic support choices, and explaining different in-home, retirement living, and residential care options in plain language so you can make confident decisions.
Hospital Discharge Support
Coordinating care and services for a safe transition home. We work with hospital teams, family members, and community providers to ensure equipment, services, and supports are in place before discharge. Practical follow-up plans also reduce the risk of readmission.
Custom Assistance
Any other aged care-related support you need. We can help you prepare important documents, organise information, coordinate services, facilitate family meetings, clarify roles and responsibilities, or provide a neutral sounding board during complex decisions.
Specialised Provider Research
Finding allied health professionals, therapy services, or rehabilitation providers. With our knowledge of aged care, we can help you shortlist appropriate providers that match your location, preferences, cultural needs, and budget.
Palliative Care Planning
Exploring options and connecting you with compassionate care providers. We can identify specialist palliative care teams, coordinate services, and ensure everyone involved understands the care plan and wishes while supporting both the individual and their family members
