Sage Care Advice, based in Maroochydore, proudly serves the Sunshine Coast community with expert aged care financial advice. As a privately owned business, our accredited specialists help families across Australia navigate the complexities of aged care funding, reducing stress and ensuring informed decisions during challenging times.

Understanding Aged Care Funding Options

Navigating aged care services can be overwhelming, especially when managing aged care fees and government requirements. Sage Care Advice provides clear, tailored solutions to optimise financial outcomes. Our services include:

• Financial guidance: We balance minimising aged care costs, maximising age pension entitlements, and ensuring affordability.

• Fee negotiation: We liaise with aged care providers to negotiate fees and review residential agreements.

• Government liaison: As Services Australia nominees, we handle paperwork, including the 25-page SA457 form, and ensure compliance.

• Ongoing support: We provide quarterly updates to Services Australia and DVA, keeping aged care funding accurate.

Making Informed Decisions

Choosing between a Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD) or Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP) is critical. Sage Care Advice helps families understand these options within 28 days of entering residential aged care, protecting estates and reducing financial stress. We also clarify whether selling the family home is necessary, offering flexibility to suit individual circumstances.
