New Way to Stay
Advice and Advocacy for Older Australians
New Way To Stay enables people to turn their goals into reality as they age.
We create personalised plans that navigate the complex aged care system. This includes providing direct access to our partner network which covers a whole spectrum of services, including Home Care, Financial Advice, Legal, Home Safety, Medical, and more.
On our client’s direction, we prepare a thorough report specifically tailored to each individual case. The report is explained in-person and includes risks, advantages and recommendations. Once a plan is chosen, we stay and manage the process. Our clients maintain a solid position for achieving their goals and living in the place of their choice.
We are Aged Care Consultants and Advocates for:
• Home care domestic and nursing
• Therapeutic services
• Rehabilitation
•Legal services
• Financial services
• Home modification design and build
• Specialist equipment – aged care and disability
• Government assistance
• Residential care placement
• Retirement living
• Employee assistance
• Psychologists and family support service
• Decluttering and more…
We offer a total project management service to help clients fulfil their aged care goals. We set them up successfully and safely in the environment of their choosing ensuring needs are met clinically, practically, economically and emotionally.
Client Focused
We introduce our clients to well researched experts across a broad range of services.
We work with our clients to establish their goals and objectives through the transition in ageing. We research the options available to them then help them map out solutions. Once agreed we implement the solutions via a network of professional service providers and advisors who we have vetted to ensure high standards are maintained at all times.
