Claude is a new client at Key 2 Care. He has come into aged care as he has had a stroke and his male partner Ray is no longer able to look after him.

Claude is finding it very difficult to adjust to life at the facility. Ray’s sister brings Ray in to visit Claude once a month as he is unable to drive, but she has never been able to accept their homosexual relationship.

After 20 minutes or so she insists on leaving which is causing both Claude and Ray constant stress and sadness.

Claude confides to his carer that he misses Ray terribly. He might as well not come to visit anymore as Ray’s sister glares at them if they so much as hold hands and says they are disgusting. He yearns just to share some love and affection.
