What are your dreams for your retirement years?
We all have our own individual stories and precious memories. It is essential to always remember who we are and allow our dreams for our future years reflect our essence.
One of the very pleasant aspects of practicing in Elder Law is getting to know some very interesting people who have lived full and rich lives. It is truly a privilege to engage with our Elder Law clients, to help them with their needs and assist them along the pathway of their journey through life.
They have “old school values” – honesty, courtesy, and wisdom, and they are entitled to receive the same from their lawyers.
When making the decisions about your retirement living it is important those decisions are informed by the person you are:
- Are you a people person who loves the company of others and would thrive in a bright and engaging community with lots to offer?
- Do you want to continue to travel, and have your home easily secured and maintained while you’re away?
- Do you have beloved grandchildren? What facilities are available to share with them in the retirement living option you choose?
- Are you a person who has wonderful memories of beach holidays; who loved surfing and beach walks – would you consider a move to a beachside area an exciting option?
- If you love nature – how will you reflect that within the community in which you live?
On a practical level, remember to think ahead about the availability of higher-level Aged Care facilities nearby.
These are the qualities we all want to look forward to in our Retirement years:
- Quality individualised care.
- A desire to know who we are.
- Respect and kindness.
- Time to listen to our stories and precious memories.
- Having the time to do things we love.
