Legal Care for Seniors

Hervey Bay has had a large retirement industry for a long time and so we have developed an expertise that is specifically tailored to providing assistance to our ageing population.

We recognise that as we get older there are a number of complex issues that require dedicated expertise.  These issues may include delegating responsibility for decision making to loved ones or planning for Aged Care or assisted accommodation to provide for the needs of ailing relatives.  In 2000 we created our Legal Care for Seniors department that is dedicated to providing Seniors with assistance in dealing with the emotional issues revolving around aging with dignity.  We provide contractual advice relating to accommodation including relocation to retirement or nursing homes and advice relating to abuse, discrimination or disputes.  We take pride in helping senior people deal with their problems and helping them find positive outcomes.
