Ways To Connect
Face-to-face contact has resumed and we will continue to offer clients the option of a meeting via video conferencing. Here is what we are doing.
New Way to Stay is a new-generation consultancy business for seniors that provides a rare and streamlined approach to later-life planning and goal implementation.
In collaboration with you, based on your own situation, we design effective strategies that include advice, risk analysis and a personalised vetting and referral service to solution providers for any of the services you need.
Then, once you are on your way towards implementing solutions, we offer ongoing support and advocacy for you and your family, for as long as it takes, or you choose to have us by your side.
Rather than spend hours online, researching and calling around for help, with just one phone call to New Way to Stay you will be on your way to obtaining an effective gateway that will not only focus on you as an individual but will give you access to a late-life plan that will save you stress, time, money and the common burden of risk that is associated with making hasty uninformed decisions in a later-life crisis.
The New Way to Stay gateway includes the following and more:
• Retirement living and downsizing
• Legal advice
• Financial Advice
• Home care – private and package support
• Clinical guidance
• Residential care placement and advice
• Home modification and safety
• Social and lifestyle support

• Counselling and psychological support
• Education/seminars
• Employee benefit packages
No matter what you need, whether it be confidential research, advice, risk analysis, ongoing support and implementation, or vetting of service providers and referrals, you will receive a service that is confidential, unique, varied, flexible and streamlined.
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 to ageing. We research the options available to them and then help them map out solutions.

It’s Dementia Action Week . www.dementia.org.au/dementia-action-week
Very few of us live out our lives without being impacted in some way by dementia. Whether it’s from caring for some one we love or from direct impact on our own health.
Dementia is increasingly prevalent in every community and something that needs attention and understanding from all of us . Whilst , it is more common with the process of ageing , this cruel disease does not discriminate on the basis of age alone . Many younger people are inflicted with the debilitating condition.
This week is a great reminder on the importance of raising awareness and what better way than to learn from the experts Dementia Australia.

Another lovely review from a clients niece trying to manage her aunts affairs from interstate.
The most rewarding part of what we do is positive impact on our clients lives .
August 2023
Lisa – (Perth)
Louise was a great resource for me whilst considering options for care for my aunt in Sydney. Living in Perth, it was proving a real challenge to know what services were available. From our first contact Louise was extremely considerate and empathetic. Her initial consultation was very thorough resulting in a comprehensive and relevant Care Solution Advice. She recommended the best care facilities to meet my aunt’s care needs, provided overviews and made appointments, all in a very short turnaround time. This allowed me to fly in and meet with a range of potential care facilities. Louise and her team were on hand to answer any queries and make any changes. My aunt has since moved into a lovely care facility. Louise also advised of aspects we had not considered and moving forward she has provided us with options for services such as financial, legal, downsizing and selling the family home. New Way to Stay and Louise’s support has proved invaluable particularly at such a challenging time combined with residing interstate. I highly recommend New Way to Stay and Louise to help you navigate this challenging phase of life.

What a sad and chaotic situation for those residents needing to be moved at their stage of life . Many will be palliative, suffering from dementia and already dealing with so many other complex challenges. Hopefully the transition can be handled quickly and smoothly.

Carolyn Willison ...wow
There’s a number of options here that puts the best interests of the residents and community at centre. Find another operator to take over the operations, have the government take over the operations via a sale. Wesley should clarify to the public whether it has intentions to sell the property’s off to developers. It has been the recipient of significant tax payer funding for many years and has tax exempt status
The religions that have made billions from believers - need to open their vast wallets and property portfolio- use the funds “ to support” those that contributed
This is abominable! Alleged 3 days notice for our elderly who made and possibly fought for this Country. Although let's just let every international student or illegal here and look after them. Christian they say? Are Wesley selling the land also? A peaceful protest picket line needs to be in place. Christopher Minns and Anthony Albanese you both need to step in Now on this.
A non tax paying charity Closing because they have to adhere to the same rules as everyone else and spend some money to provide some actual quality care instead of just filling the coffers
Profits, before people.
toxic work environments and profits more important why would you bother working in aged care meals are often attrocious and not all that good either
Closing because their profit margin for investors will be reduced far more the reason, residents pay big $ to get in, the staff are not trained properly and if they are they are not sufficiently paid. So much BS - so they kick these existing residents out. The aged care sector is so unregulated - my mum died in one, took 12 days for a doctor to evaluate her by that time mum had lost 10kg and was severely dehydrated. They lied about her care, No wonder the suicide rate for the aged gets kept hidden. 1 RN 24/7 per aged care facility - they cannot attract any because of the poor conditions that already exist. www.abc.net.au/news/2021-02-25/regis-nedlands-nursing-home-residents-sunburnt-and-stepped-on/1317...
Great little talk . The message reinforcing move it or lose it . #dementiaawareness
