To add , they're both into their 90s but still are really with it mentally. Just need help with general day to day things.

We'll look into it. Thanks for that. 

You (your family) and your grandparents are fortunate.

I’m not sure about Australia (Thai nurse?), but we (in the states) did this for a grandparent. There should be companies that will help you with this.

How we did it and how it can be done.

We went with and stayed with a company (for years!) that would schedule licensed geriatric nurses for us (make sure there’s a back-up plan/company). LPN’s during the evenings (grandparent for the most part was sleeping) and RN’s during the day (oversaw meds and doctor visits). LPN’s are less expensive vs RN’s. However towards the end (dementia) we went with RN’s night and day.

The reason: my grandparent told us she wanted to remain at home and not a living facility.

Some of these nurses will ask you to hire them away from the company they are working with. The reason,.they will tell you it is less expensive. CAREFUL! If that nurse is hurt while working for you, they can sue you (workman’s comp).

Alternative: A living facility. There are some good ones (in the states) but you or a family member should make unscheduled visits from time to time.

The costs can be great, especially towards the end. Good luck.
