Aged Care Placement Consultants

Aged Care Placement

We help those who need to find a quality and affordable residential care home for their elderly relative.

We can co-ordinate and supervise every step of the placement to suit you or your loved ones needs.

We minimise the stress of moving to residential care.

We are a trusted partner with many other service providers, including many major hospitals and the RSL.

Senior Moves is an experienced independent Aged Care Placement Service operating since 2002 under the same ownership and management team.

We reduce accommodation fees.

Most families are surprised to learn that Residential Accommodation Deposits (RAD's) and additional service fees (ASF's) can be negotiated with the aged care provider.

We have developed successful steps to reduce residential accommodation fees and additional service fees to make the accommodation and lifestyle services more affordable for our family clients.

Our recent testimonials ...

  Thanks again for your help in securing the room. We could see the relief in Mum’s face when she arrived at her room. Once she was dressed in street wear, not hospital wear, she seemed more confident and hopefully in time most if not all of the confidence she had before she entered hospital will return.
Andrea Lewis  

  Thank you once again for everything. I am sleeping much better now, not having to worry about my Father's financial situation (at the aged care home) as much. What you have done is give me peace of mind that he can afford the extra ‘odd’ bill . I will be very happy to recommend your services.
Karen Di N.  

  Thank you for the amazing job you've done for us. We cannot express enough what your assistance meant to us. You were a special blessing sent from heaven. Liz, I know we could never have managed without you. Our thanks and love to you both.

We can find that aged care placement which will perfectly match your family needs

Not all aged care providers deliver the same quality level of service - services provided and reputations vary greatly over time. One aged care home may be a good choice for one family but may be inappropriate for another family, with different family requirements. Also, there are always changes being made to the rules and regulations and new care and accommodation solutions are being developed and introduced.

Having an experienced single point of contact to find the best solution and to coordinate the move will help you greatly. You will have an experienced guide to properly plan; short-list the best accommodation options for you, complete all of the application paperwork, negotiate the accommodation fees, and then to liaise with the aged care home to make sure that the transition is a smooth one.

Senior Moves has been providing independent aged care placement consulting and assistance since 2002.

This assistance is available from our recognised aged care placement consultants:

• Ensuring that the short-listed care homes properly match your family requirements in care services, location and proximity to supportive family members, financial affordability and personal preferences.


• Saving you time by using our direct access to a trusted network of local admission coordinators and accurate up to date vacancy registers.


• Allowing our placement coordinators to arrange appointments, submit the application paperwork, financial assessment forms and complete the negotiation of accommodation fee (RAD) and additional services fees on your behalf.

Senior Moves was established after observing the common difficulties and stresses that families encountered when they approached the task of placing a relative into residential care.

Each new family:

• Approached the emotional task with similar needs and concerns


• Undertook the same activities - devoting their limited time and valuable effort


• Only to uncover the same information and make many of the same mistakes as families that had gone before them.

There had to be a better way to complete this important activity and to achieve a positive outcome for the family.

Over the years, we have assisted many families with the move to retirement living, serviced apartments, group homes, assisted living, supported residential services and Commonwealth subsidised aged care accommodation.

We have knowledge, experience and industry contacts which can help you today. If you have any questions, or need practical assistance, for your relative please contact our friendly team for a chat.

We enjoy sharing our knowledge and experience about relocation and placement with new clients; and being personally involved with the family during this most important time.
