Julia was just like you. A daughter-turned-carer “burnt out” by a complex system, having to manage multiple hats, until she “finally” found the answer: CareAbout.
Like yourself, so many adult children of ageing parents don’t set out to become a full-time carer. First, it happens gradually, and before we know it, it then happens all at once. And undoubtedly, there could only be one universal, gravity-defying factor behind such immense sacrifice: Love.
It was this very factor that fast led Julia to a heavy position where not before long, she would find herself juggling several hats: She was the cleaner, the cook, the driver, the appointment-maker, and the one constantly worrying about her parent’s safety and wellbeing. Julia was caring for both of her 83-year-old parents while raising a family of her own, and as anyone facing this challenging situation would expect, Julia became “burnt out.”
Australia’s complex aged care system only left Julia feeling alone, confused, and overwhelmed. One day, Julia simply Googled, “aged care services at home in Melbourne” when she discovered CareAbout.
Determined to find the support her father desperately needed, Julia made the call to CareAbout. Little did she know at the time, this call would soon mark the beginning of a transformative, new chapter.
