Aged Care Lawyers Reviewing Agreements for You and Your Family

When a parent needs more support than home can offer, the move into residential care can happen within weeks, and the agreements tend to arrive alongside every other decision the family is making. Our aged care lawyers review those documents for seniors, couples and the adult children managing a transition on a loved one’s behalf, across Brisbane and South East Queensland.

The paperwork usually includes a service agreement setting out the care and services to be provided, together with accommodation terms that may involve a refundable accommodation deposit (RAD) or a daily accommodation payment (DAP). As aged care agreement lawyers, we read each document closely, explain your rights and obligations in plain English, and point out any terms worth questioning before anything is signed. Where a family member is signing for someone else, we can also check whether existing power of attorney documents give them the authority to do so. Choosing the facility remains your family’s decision; our role is to make sure the agreement attached to it is clear and fair to you before you commit. With over 50 years of heritage in the Logan and Brisbane southside community, we understand how much families want to get this step right for the person they love.

If you are arranging care for a parent or relative, you are welcome to contact us on their behalf and have the agreement reviewed before it is signed. Phone (07) 3808 7777, email business@mclaughlinlawyers.com.au or use our online enquiry form.
