Aged Care Advice

Respite Care

My dad really needed a break but could not find respite care for my mother because of her complex medical condition.  Mum requires peritoneal dialysis to be set up each night and for someone to be in attendance to monitor the system if it alarms. We had tried unsuccessfully to find respite for Mum so Dad could have a break as these skills are not common in residential aged care facilities. So I called Signpost (Aged Care Services) and after utilising their contacts and experience they found a solution which worked really well for both mum and dad.  Dad was able to enjoy a great holiday and can now plan future breaks.  Thanks Signpost. ~ Sally, Sydney

Aged Care Placement

Thank you again for assisting us with finding a place for Betty to be cared for and be happy in the last 3 months of her life. We are forever grateful. ~ Monique and Terry, Surrey Hills VIC

Aged Care Accommodation

I must thank you for all your assistance in helping to find suitable aged care accommodation for my dear friend. My husband and I in the past placed my father and mother in law in aged care facilities. It was a very lengthy , distressing and enormously time consuming process. Using Signpost Aged Care Services considerably reduced the stress and time to find a suitable aged care facility.

Thank you for all your assistance and help and I would thoroughly recommend your organisation to anyone . ~ Robyn, Balwyn

I had spoken to others about the process that you need to go through and in every case they had used a (aged care) consultant. I did some research and quickly found how onerous the task is and that I needed quality advice. Further research narrowed our choices down to two consultants and after speaking to them both I chose Margaret and Sara. ~ Rowan and Di, Watergardens

Aged Care Advice

"Navigating through the minefield of age care was looking horrendous until we discovered Margaret at Signpost. She had all the answers, her advice and support was invaluable in our emotional journey with our father. We found Dad the very best facility for his needs thanks to Margaret’s knowledgeable, dedication, understanding and patience. Margaret at Signpost was our family’s knight in shining armour, we can’t thank her enough for her professional support." ~ Warren, Brighton VIC

Aged Care Placement Consultants

When we first embarked on the task of moving Val we were a bit overwhelmed, totally aware we were out of our depth. What we needed was someone who could not only tell us what we needed to do, but actually do it on our behalf. Your knowledge and empathy was amazing and truly appreciated.

After our first meeting Dave closed the front door and said “for the first time in weeks I feel very calm about everything”. You saved us a lot of stress and worry, and for that I thank you. ~ Lara and David, McKinnon VIC

Aged Care Service Consultant

A unique and much needed service. Margaret has given us invaluable advice a couple of times when we needed urgent assistance. Thank you. ~ Jenny, Toronto

Aged Care Legal and Financial Advice

I worked with Margaret Harrison for many years at a major bank, where she held a very senior role in the legal department. After the hard decision to place our parents in care, we met with Margaret for only an hour less than a month ago, when she set us on the path to means testing documents, powers of attorney, medical requirements, a superb explanation of the required financial contributions to an aged care facility, and options for placement in a twin room. We have already secured spots for our parents at a brand new up market Home in a good location. Don't waste your time talking to friends who have 'done it all before' - every case is different and complex, and the whole process would have been a drawn out and nightmarish affair without Signpost (Aged Care Service). ~ Alex, South Yarra
