Talk about the benefits of finding about residential care and aged care services early.
Focus on how to maintain the way of life in the future.
Discuss options that’ll help at home like nursing care assistance, gardening and home maintenance.

How can I stay home as I grow older?
Can we talk about options and services that may be available for me?
