If your phone ringing sends a jolt of anxiety through you, you're in the right place. You didn't choose this — one day you were a son or daughter, and the next, you were managing medications, finances, and a system nobody explained to you.
This is for only children and default carers of an ageing parent — the ones who got the role overnight, with no handover and no one else to share it with.
Inside, you'll get:
· A place to feel less alone, without judgement or explaining yourself
· Plain-language guidance through the maze of aged care, finances, and systems
· Clearer next steps, instead of constant guesswork
· Space to feel love and resentment at the same time, without shame
I've spent nearly 33 years in healthcare, and I'm still walking this road myself, with both my parents now in an Aged Care Facility. I know this maze from the inside.
Come in, exhale, and let's find solid ground together.
