Greek-born Mr Trifon Kotsoris is 92-years-old and until recently was living independently with his much- loved wife. A few years ago, their son James moved from Melbourne to live close-by in a self-contained flat behind their home where he could more easily help them when needed.
Sadly, Mrs Kotsoris passed away in early 2022. Although there was some care in place to help James, Mr Kotsoris’s functional abilities were declining due to being less active and social. Despite the challenges, Mr Kotsoris and his family wanted him to remain living at home.
