Alternative living arrangements

Our Retirement Communities and Granny Flat Arrangements flyers provide you and your family with useful information to be aware of, and know, when making an alternative arrangement choice.

How can Family Aged Care Advocates help you?

Moving to a retirement community or entering into a granny flat arrangement can have wide ranging effects on:

• your pension entitlement and other benefits

• your cash flow

• the cost of “care” services, and

• the amount of money you will receive if you have to leave your current living arrangement.

Retirement community and granny flat financial arrangements vary. One financial arrangement may be better suited to you than another. We can help you understand the costs of your living arrangement by:

• identifying the fees and charges that will apply to you

• helping you identify your care needs and associated care provider costs

• calculating your age pension entitlement and other benefits

• providing you with a comprehensive analysis of the options, including moving into permanent care, so that you can make informed choices
