Divorce

 Not sure how things work in Aussi re being funded while living in a Home. Here it is very strict and the rules are clear so that the person has to have little money left before the Government steps in. This can make it difficult for partners still living at home. Here also the Government can go back through your affairs for 7 years to see where your money has gone and they go through it with a fine tooth comb.

I have heard of two people in Aussi who have divorced their spouse with Alzheimer's which somehow helps with the cost of their care in a home. It certainly doesn't work here.

George is excited as his grandson is coming to visit for a few days. I hope that he doesn't find it too difficult. He loves any contact with his family.

George is often very slow with his speech and takes a very long time searching for the word he wants. He always seems better on Thursday afternoon as that is the day some other elderly men go to his club and he loves to chat with them.
