What I learned shocked me:
Lying awake at night terrified of making the wrong financial decision
Feeling overwhelmed by contradictory information from every "expert" you consult
Visiting facilities with no idea what questions to ask or red flags to spot
Getting the runaround from Centrelink and paying thousands in unnecessary fees
Constant family stress and arguments about what's best for your parent
Guilt that you're failing your parent when they need you most
Sleeping soundly knowing your parent is safe and your assets are protected
Confidently navigating Centrelink and getting accurate information the first time
Spotting quality facilities immediately and avoiding expensive mistakes
Having a clear, step-by-step plan that the whole family supports
Knowing exactly what to expect financially and how to minimise costs legally
Peace of mind that your parent is receiving genuine care and dignity
