I'm caring for me, who's 95. After a diagnosis of dementia Avery can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Avery desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Avery worked all of her life as a factory worker, and raised 2 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for four 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 $5,250 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $290 • Part-time carer (four months): $4,450 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $510 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
