A Personalised Aged Care Plan, Built Around You
Every older person’s situation is different, so a plan pulled off a shelf rarely fits. A personalised aged care plan is a roadmap built around one person’s needs, preferences, budget and wishes, and updated as things change.
Together we work out what good looks like for you and your family, then set out the practical steps to get there. It might mean care at home, social support, assistive technology or home modifications, or planning ahead for a future move. Your plan isn’t set in stone. We revisit and adjust it as needs shift.
What your plan covers
How we build your plan
A conversation about the person, the family, the worries and the wishes, not a form.
We lay out what’s realistic, what it involves, and what it may cost.
You get a clear plan you can act on and share with family.
As needs change, after a hospital stay, a diagnosis or a change to aged care rules, we adjust the plan with you.
The hardest part of aged care isn’t any single decision. It’s holding all of them together. Your plan keeps everything in one place, and we stay alongside you as your guide.
Who a personalised plan helps most
- Families juggling work, kids and a parent whose needs are growing.
- Older people who want to plan ahead on their own terms.
- Anyone who’s had one confusing call too many with the system and wants a clear path.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a personalised aged care plan?
It’s a written roadmap built around one person’s care needs, budget, living preferences and wishes. It sets out what to do now and what to plan for later, and it’s reviewed as circumstances change.
How is this different from a My Aged Care support plan?
Your aged care assessment produces a support plan based on your assessed needs and the services you’re approved for. Ours is broader and independent. It weighs up home care, private options, retirement living, residential care and future costs together, and we help you act on it.
Is the plan financial advice?
No. We explain funding and costs in general terms so you understand your options. For personal financial or legal decisions, we encourage you to talk with your existing financial adviser or solicitor. If you don’t have one, we can introduce you to someone suitable, on merit and with no fee in either direction.
Can the plan change over time?
Yes, that’s the point. Care needs rarely stand still. We revisit and adjust the plan after key changes like a hospital stay, a new diagnosis, or a change to aged care rules.
Do you arrange the services in the plan?
That’s up to you. We can guide you to compare providers and understand the fees so you choose, or we can manage the whole process for you, including finding and securing a place in the right home. Because we take no commissions, our recommendations stay independent.
How do we get started on a plan?
Book a complimentary 15-minute conversation. We’ll talk through your situation and explain how one-to-one guidance and a personalised plan would work for you.
Why older people and families choose Aged Care Conversations
Our guidance comes from people who have worked inside the system and still do. Louise Greene is a Registered Nurse with an MBA and more than 40 years in health and aged care across clinical, executive, consulting and board roles, including chairing clinical governance committees. Kerry Mann is a former CEO in aged care and retirement living, holds an MBA, and has board experience including Ageing Australia’s NSW/ACT State Member Council.
How much we do is up to you. Some people want a single conversation to get their bearings. Others want us to manage the whole process, from the assessment through to finding and securing a place in the right home, with regular updates along the way.
We’re independent. Older people and families pay us directly, and we take no commissions from aged care homes, retirement villages or providers. When we help with placement, we’re working for you: homes pay us nothing. Where we introduce a partner, it’s on merit, with no fee in either direction. People come to us in the hardest weeks and leave with a clear plan and a person to call.
