Welcome to our 2nd Aged Care newsletter for 2022.

In this edition, we’ll find out more about home care packages as well as have a greater understanding of 'granny flat' arrangements.

As we get older, most of us would like to stay in our homes as long as possible before moving into an Aged Care home. The government has numerous home care packages to help you keep your independence. Discover what packages are available in our first article.

Are you considering a sea or tree change when you move into retirement? We are spoilt for choice in Australia and there are plenty of retirement villages available in beautiful communities around the country.

Maintaining your social activity throughout your twilight years is important to ensure you stay happy and healthy long into retirement. Find out why in this article.

And finally, moving into a granny flat can be a great option if you’re looking to downsize but not yet ready to move into a retirement village or aged care home. There are things to consider that we have outlined here.   

We love to hear from you, so please feel free to contact us with any questions about our articles in this newsletter on 1300 853 790 or email reception@mfpoint.com.au.

Kind regards,

The Team at My Financial Point
