I'm caring for my mother, who's 80. After worsening Parkinson's disease Adjoa can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Adjoa desperately wants to stay at home. I work 40 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Adjoa worked all of her life as a bus driver, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $800 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $65 • Part-time carer (eight months): $640 • Medication and prescriptions: $95 Glad we found this place.
