However, for a lot of elderly people, there will come a time when they may no longer be able to live at home. This could be for various reasons including illness, disability, bereavement or an emergency. It could also be because, as a working carer, you are unable to continue providing care and the care receiver can no longer manage on their own even if some respite is available.

Intimacy can be defined as the giving and receiving of love and affection. In Australian society when we talk about being intimate, many people instantly think of sexuality. If we think of intimacy as just sex, it makes it hard to focus on the other really fulfilling aspects of human relationships.
