Aged care advice

Specialist aged care financial advice to help you make confident decisions

Aged Care Steps Accredited Aged Care Professional™ program

Making decisions about aged care can be overwhelming, especially when they arise suddenly. Whether you are planning ahead or supporting a parent or loved one, clear aged care financial advice can make a meaningful difference.

Forest Wealth provides specialist aged care advice to help individuals and families understand their options, manage costs, and make informed decisions with confidence.

Clear guidance through complex aged care decisions

Aged care involves more than choosing a facility. Families are often required to make decisions about:

  • Care options such as home care, residential aged care, or retirement living
  • Aged care fees and accommodation payments
  • The family home and other assets
  • Centrelink entitlements and pension impacts
  • Navigating emotional family conversations under pressure

Without specialist guidance, it’s easy to feel uncertain or rushed into decisions. Our role is to provide clarity, structure and calm during an important life transition.

How our aged care financial advisers can help

Our aged care advice is tailored to your circumstances and delivered in clear, practical language.

We can assist with:

  • Explaining aged care options and pathways
  • Understanding aged care fees and how they are calculated
  • Modelling different financial scenarios, including whether to retain or sell the family home
  • Assessing the impact on Age Pension and other entitlements
  • Supporting families to make aligned, wellinformed decisions

Our focus is on helping you understand your choices, avoid costly mistakes, and move forward with confidence.
