What about my carer?
Your move into an aged care home may be a confusing and distressing time for your carer. No matter how difficult caring for another person may have been, carers are likely to have very mixed feelings as their role changes.
Help and support is available for carers adjusting to these circumstances. For information about respite support services, you can call 1800 200 422.
Your carer may not wish to give up caring for you after you move to an aged care home. They can still be involved in practical tasks, and the home may be able to advise them how to continue to play a role in your care.
Common questions on this topic:
- My aunt is living at home, but only managing because I help her a lot. I have my elderly mother and my own family to care for as well and am finding it increasingly difficult to cope. Is there someone I can talk to about what I can do?
- I've found a home I like but they say they can't look after me as I'm over 110kg. Can they do this?
