The organization HOME INSTEAD makes this possible for my mobility is drastically shrinking and without some care giving I would not be able to look totally after myself. There are just too many things that I cannot do anymore. The Australian government is subsidizing HOME INSTED to a large extant. It is said to stay at home with some help is cheaper than be looked after in a care home.
Would I ever want to go to a care home? I do not think so. What if I really cannot look after myself anymore? I want to talk to my doctor about all this as soon as possible.
I’m hoping when I can’t manage myself, my long-term care insurance will pay for an in home caregiver.
How much does this kind of an insurance cost, dear Jan?
Do you do regular payments?
Yes, monthly payments of $247. For the two of us.
This sounds great, Jan. Wishing you and your husband all the best for the future! 🙂
