In this week's budget the Australian Government announced $1.6 billion for 23,000 additional home care packages to help care for older Australians in their own homes.
My Wife's Health has deteriorated this year and we were able to get assessed to receive an assistance package to help us stay in our home. We receive Home Care, Transport, Meals on Wheels, Subsidised Medication Costs, Financial Assistance to buy special necessary items and Improvements to the House to make it safer, and provide assistance e.g. Shower. When you need more care a Nurse comes to the home.
It does help to make life easier for us and we are most grateful and appreciative. Do feel so sorry for those who are not provided for in this way.
It is a much better alternative to a Nursing Home. There is no place like home, especially as the "Hills of Home" come more into view.

Wonderful carers doing a great job of caring for others.

sorry to hear you are having a difficult time getting by... Millions of people are in this situation of difficult of getting by, it will NOT getting any better soon. Put your Faith and Trust in God. Jesus said in Matthew 6:19-20 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.” But, contrariwise, but store up your treasure in heaven, and why? Because neither moth nor rust destroys there and thieves do not break in and steal there.

Not having any problems with Moths or Thieves. Use surface spray to get rid of Moths, and good locks on doors, plus security screens to keep Thieves out. All good, no worries.

As I have already pointed out, we are not having any problems with Moths or Thieves and a long way from the Sea, Rust is not an issue. Sorry that you have that problem where you are.

We have had this here for a good while now and it is far better and less stressful for the elderly.

New Zealand probably does it a bit better than Australia. You are wonderful people, pull together, that helps. Obviously it produces Healthy results, NZ has one of the lowest levels of medication use.
When souls are happy, healthy are souls.

Redback, sorry to hear that you wife's health has deteriorated but glad to know that you have that kind of help there.
I don't think that we have anything compared to that here in the U.S.

Sorry to hear that things aren’t great for you, with your wife’s health. At least we both have compassionate governments that look after the elderly. And care is there for when you need it. Take care my friend.

You have to be practical and try and provide for your old age. You can’t pay for care with a “faith card” And it’s not like in the Bible times where the eldest used the inheritance to provide care for the parents. In some places in Asia they do something similar, but not in Western societies where people try and preserve their independence for as long as possible. I do understand what was spoken, however and I don’t refute it, but I have seen the pious poor survive only because of those who did provide for more than just themselves.

In fact if Heaven is some place elsewhere how do you do it at all, how do you store things in Heaven someplace else when you haven't got there yet because you have no idea if your going till your supposed judgememt day?. You have a dilemma on your hands...... Or maybe Heaven is just a present reality......

You have a dilemma on your hands...... Or maybe Heaven is just a present reality...... *** in the gospel of Matthew Jesus spoke the parable of the 1, 5 and 10 talents when He returns as King of kings, he will rewards His servants and followers. The 1 talent, who hid his talent and didn't do anything with the investment get booted out to live with the unbelievers. The 5 and 10 talents invest their time in sharing the gospel story with others, helping those who are in needs. Jesus will let the 5 talents rule over 5 cities and the 10 talents rule over 10 cities on earth. So, invest and spend your time wisely while you are on earth, that is laying up treasures in heaven.

I believe we will reap in heaven what we sow on earth. By good works, we store up treasures in heaven, "Who will render to every man according to his deeds" (Romans 2:6). "And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be" (Revelation 22:12). We live a temporary existence now, in a world of sin, pain, sorrow, confusion, and death. The Kingdom of God will have none of those things, so it would be impossible to experience here what we will inherit forever after.
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven"
