Patty Kikos interviews Paul Murphy who went from being an accountant and financial planner, to an advocate for helping people put their loved ones into Aged Care facilities. Knowing the numbers, the forms, the placement process from BOTH a family perspective and a care provider’s angle, as well as understanding the government requirements gives him a unique perspective that very few people have.
