“The decision was virtually made for me at that point. But then when you start and look at what's required to go into permanent care, it's just huge! There was no way I could have done that on my own. In no way. Because, you are suddenly faced with, Where am I going to find that sort of money? Do we have that sort of money? What's invested? what's available? what's not available? You know, I had no idea. So that's when I handed it straight over to Peter.” – Robin Purdey
Robin and Russell Purdey have been Burke Britton private clients and friends of Principal Peter Burke for the last 22 years.
In todays episode Robin takes us through her incredible life journey growing up the Western District of Victoria, moving to the Greek island of Corfu with her three young children following the death of her first husband, Russell’s passion for microlight aviation, her love of nature and writing, the fears and uncertainty around Russell’s deteriorating health in retirement and the decisions both personally and financially that she has navigated in the lead up to Russell entering Aged Care.
Robins story is honest and inspiring and will no doubt act as a guide for anyone in a similar situation with a loved one requiring Aged Care support. We would encourage anyone seeking guidance to listen to Fine Answers Episode 5 Aged Care Anxiety Vs Advice.
