A Fresh New Approach
Support During Covid-19
New Way to Stay is open for business. 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
• Aged care government benefit advice
• 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 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

A report shares insights into how the country's older population perceives health technologies in their homes.
Interesting article and unexpected learnings for this nifty elderly super sleuth. With so much assumption that elder abuse is commonplace in aged care facilities and most commonly perpetrated by staff, it is worth noting that the finding in this experience was that the sense of loneliness and abandonment was actually the overriding destructive factor for so many residents.

An 83-year-old goes undercover at a nursing home to investigate elder abuse in this documentary
www.abc.net.au
Academy Award-nominated documentary The Mole Agent starts with a cheeky premise, and pivots to something altogether more poignant and humane.Great chart to which all #health, #healthcare, #aging #technology and #digitalhealth #entrepreneurs and #startups should be paying close attention -it's is staggering to think that 80% of #seniors have at least one of these #chronicconditions and then at how high the penetration levels are for each of these! My personal focus here, if I were a new #founder, would be the top 3 here (#hypertension, #highcholesterol and #arthritis) but all of these offer a spectacular opportunity for #innovation and #change for the better!

It is so humbling to receive emails with words like these.
"Louise, we are endlessly grateful for the help you’ve given us. It’s truly been life changing and I don’t know how we could have done all this by ourselves"
Love this photo , so beautiful .

What a brilliant idea
We all know that a 100 year life span is a bigger reality than it has ever been before . Our children and grandchildren should reach 100 with even more confidence than us!
But …what if we or they run out of money and good health by age 80 with 20 years left ? It’s not just what it might mean to those of us facing those hurdles, it is the heavy flow on impact for younger working demographics of our societies, who will likely be propping up the economy we rely on.
Planning strategically for the future on a wider scale has never been more essential!.
We can help people and organisations to proactively plan for short, medium and longer term futures across the entire spectrum of life .
