After nearly a whole day on the phone, I am happy to report that we were approved for help.
Our aged care home package will start in 3-4 weeks. It includes transport, home maintenance, podiatry, and grass cutting.
Later on as we get older it will include meals on wheels... but as long as I can cook, we would prefer our own cuisine.
Once a year someone will come and wash our windows for us. The is all part of the Australian Government's plan to keep seniors in their own home instead of a nursing home.
I had to access three different goverment bodies today via phone with a waiting time of an hour or more, but with the ability to be approved so quickly and for the blessing it will be, the time on the phone paid off.
So pleased to hear you will be getting some help soon. I have been thinking of you both lately and wondering how you were coping so this is good news.
