Most of us, at some time in our life, will need to access aged care services, if not for ourselves, for a spouse, parents, relatives or friends.
With an estimated four million Australians expected to be over 65 years old by 2021, the fact of an ageing population becomes ever more relevant to all of us. What services and support are available for the care of old people? Who can provide help? What are the costs involved? What benefits are you entitled to? Who can you turn to for advice? It's never too soon to start making plans.
And importantly, isn't it time we questioned some of our notions about growing old? Health, independence, financial security, self-esteem and dignity are all matters that deserve a more or less complete overhaul in many people's thinking.
This book explains all you need to know about Australian community and residential aged care services, and includes an extensive list of contact details for support. Through commonwealth, state and local departments and a large number of community organisations, there is a wide range of services and support available - you just need to know what they are and how you can access them. |
