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.
