One of the hardest parts about ageing is knowing when it’s time to leave the family home. Do you move into a retirement village and embrace community life, or stay at home as long as possible before facing the inevitable need for care and the scramble for suitable options that follows?

If that decision making process isn’t hard enough, the financial minefield of contracts and payment options can end up trapping even the most savvy consumers.

Luckily Rachel Lane from Aged Care Gurus simplifies this process by breaking down these complex concepts into easy to understand, practical information, whilst also keeping the providers and policy makers honest by calling it exactly as she sees it.

In this episode of The Business of Ageing, Rachel shares some of the trends she is seeing from consumers when it comes to retirement living and aged care, and how there can often be a disconnect between these expectations with the reality of what providers can deliver.
