  1. In the US, not even $11,000 a month can buy you dignity at the end of your life

    After watching my father’s struggle in a system that values profit over compassion, I wonder: how much longer will we accept a future where most of us lose our sense of human worth in old age?

  2. *What to do if your parent or partner needs Aged Care*

    The system in Australia seems almost purpose-built to be difficult to both understand and navigate. Consequently, the first thing you need to do is to talk to a HUMAN. Go to the CARE FINDER page, locate a service in the region you are interested in, and make an appointment for a chat. It's a free service and they can really help you navigate what the best choice for you and your loved one will be.
