How to Talk to Your Parents About Aged Care

With the holiday season just around the corner, most of us are preparing to spend some time with our loved ones, and it during this time that we tend to notice a decline in the health of Mum or Dad.  

One of the most difficult dilemmas we can face is how to overcome the discomfort that affect many families in trying convince Mum or Dad that aged care might be a good choice for them. 

TriCare Placement Co-ordinator, Aleisha Becker said, “Begin the conversations early while your parent’s health still allows them to fully participate and share their preferences. Choose a time and place for these conversations, include other family members and explore options together”. 

With over 47 years’ experience, TriCare is a family owned and operated company and understand that it can be difficult to figure out what care and support is out there for Mum and Dad. TriCare are pleased to offer you a FREE, no obligation care placement service.

Aleisha said, “Our Placement Co-ordinators can help guide you through the maze of residential aged care information. Tailored to your needs we ensure that you understand your legal rights and financial options, identify possible vacancies and take care of all the paperwork on your behalf should you choose to make the move into an aged care home.”
